Thanks Ed, it's the same photo. And it has some explanation,
I'm not convinced it's genuine. A close inspection of the rope reveals it is *not* continuous, and there seems to be an uncharacteristic pale halo around the tug. If you put the non-continuous rope down to a defect in the canopy, I for one would hate to fly that glider!
There's nothin' like good
Someone questioned whether the tug was in fact digitally touched up, and that
the rope was actually discontinuous.
Have a closer look !
The "break" in the rope is really where the rudder of the tug aircraft is
coming vertically down, but the tow rope at that distance is actually becoming
thin
You've too much time on your hands Jason...
