We in New England are lucky to have one of the best tug pilots in the world in central Mass.

If you don't know who Rhett is you don't know the history of areotowing. He is in the lime green dragonfly in these videos.

Less then 1 1/2 hour's for me to get there and located in a great spot,lot's of lift and x/c potential. With Rhett in control you couldn't ask for better.

This past Friday, Rhett was pulling us up to 7K+ If you live in the north east, you gotta check out Hangglide New England.
