I used the original GoPro to film a pair of glider flights.

Heres the first:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdPIxAn7Jdo&feature=related

And the second:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIHJH7a8EyA&feature=related

Enjoy!
The second one holds a nice spot in my heart.

Piper Pawnee the 235 HP version.

I find boxing the wake pointless yet fun and I know all the tow pilots and I normally tell them when Im going to box it. One day I didnt though and when I mentioned it to him after I landed he said he hadnt even noticed until I was on the top right portion. Which is my favorite spot in the box so I normally pause there a little bit longer. But yes it really has no purpose.

We've got a grob 103c acro, a cirrus 18m, and there are a couple private owners. The only privately owned glider that I've towed has been a Discus. Mostly people fly the Grob though.

I learned in a Grob 103 and now fly the Grob 102  :D

We recently restored a schweizer 2-33 that I luckily never had to do any training in.   ;)

There's our Grob on the DP, the tow plane is sitting on the ramp painted up like a Southwest airplane. (The lady that owns the airport is very senior in SWA)
