Default To Pawnee or not to Pawnee...that is the question...

Why is it only old Pawnee vs. new Husky? Are there not used efficient
180hp tugs available in the US?

I was up at Milfield with my Libelle a week ago, where they run three
tow planes: 150 Pawnee, 180 Supercub, 235 Pawnee. I couldn't see much
difference between the Supercub and the 235 Pawnee but the 150 Pawnee
had a much slower climb rate than either of the others: more like my
club's 160hp Rallye.
