Glider pickup
I was watching an old movie,"Objective, Burma!", circa 1945. At the end of
the movie, they picked up a glider, by hanging a rope on poles, then a C 47 went by with a hook, and snagged the rope, pulling the glider out, from a dead stop, to flying. Was this a common maneuver? -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
