Default Where do new Tug Pilots come from?

A Aviat Husky is a two seat tail dragger suitable for tugging.

We had to get a Husky. One of many reasons for doing so was so we could do checkouts and training and get some guys good enough with tail-draggers. We had enough guys who already were commercial ASEL with no tail-dragger time.


Before we got the Husky, it's damned near impossible to find somebody with a commercial rating and taildragger endorsement, and be willing to tow on the good soaring days.
