Tow pilot killed, but reported as a glider crash!
Having seen a couple of posts regarding 'tug aerobatics'
while on tow, and 'spinning tug and glider while on tow,' this comes as a rather tragic and timley reminder.......... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/l...re/3449683.stm How many of us fly with our hand on the bung all through the tow? Are you alert enough to pull off before the tug waves you off?

Me too.
'Near' the bung, yes. 'On' the bung, no. I am sure that your post is in good faith and with good intentions but we have no details of this tragic accident. To mention in the same post aerobatics on tow etc. is a not very tactful (unless you know something we don't know).
