Default Cessna 188 Agwagon as towplane

TSA tried one years ago and it just had too much wing to get down fast
enough to keep up with the Pawnees. It was a 300 hp as I remember. On
tow, it was a rocket, but it couldn't cycle as fast. I recall 1 tow in
a 1-35C behind it. It's been so long ago that I don't remember much
more than that... Hell to get old, ain't it? I guess it beats the
alternative...
