I wonder how many feet of runway they needed b4 they became airborne? Looks like a lot more than a Jumbo.

Found this to be rather unique. I didn't think a single tow plane could pull 9 sail planes like that. Guess I learned something new!

Wow, amazing...amazingly nuts! I can think of 300 different ways this could have gone real bad. Glad it worked out well.

The tow plane looks a bit like the crop duster in calif's Sacramento valley. Pretty tame to what the do over the rice fields at planting time.
