I didn't realize little planes were that powerful. Shocked

Must have had one heck of an engine! Grin

Looks like a turboprop powered crop duster. Even with all the power it had, they sure didn't climb very much. They didn't clear the buildings by more than a couple hundred feet, and those appear to be at least .5 mile from the runway. I would also think the more dangerous part would be not tangling the gliders in each others lines. I imagine if one hit another's cable, you would have a huge mess, not to mention all the gliders behind it getting caught up in it as well.

Well, it is called a 'tractor'. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
