Summer 2002 national championshipa at Lasham. 103 gliders launched in 62
minutes ( we were trying to get it under an hour)


Interesting, but somewhat difficult to relate to without some idea of the
number of tow planes, personnel, and a description of the facilities and
process.

Still, anything like 100+ in ~1 hour is impressive.

Loyal Savaria at Avenal has made maybe 30 tows maybe a dozen days
over the past year, mostly feb-sep when the thermals are
great and they start right at 1000 ft (nice
to get unlimited thermals with only a $10 tow).

Of course he's not exactly getting rich on these low
tows, but we ply him with free lunch once in a while.
There should be an award for "World's Most Beloved Tow Pilot."

I did 37 or 38 (can't remember exactly) winch launched circuits one
day.

A beat-up every time? You must be bored today!
