OK, I have accurate info now. They were attempting to get a shot of
the Escalade launching the DG-1000. They were using a 200' rope.


200'? Or 2000' ?

It would be hard to get a good camera shot with the glider 2,000 feet
behind the Cadillac.


The runway is 2550 feet long, too short for 2000 feet of cable and a
standard auto launch.
