Shortwing being towed

[PA-16]

The prop is stopped and a long tow rop attached to it.. but why, what was going on here..

Hi,

I think that's a road looking like a tow rope.

It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't the airplanes' fault.
It was the asphalt!

Prop appears stopped because of the fast shutter speed of the camera. Same effect as a strobe at the right frequency will appear stop anything moving

Also a good reason not to operate strobe lights around aircraft parking areas at night. You'd think that the engine noise would be a giveaway, but the 'stationary' prop has got a few people in the past.

I think it's being pulled by a DC 3 with the rope.

...Obviously a mid-air hijacking attempt...

So what happened to the Super 20 slotted wing prototype? Does Dakota Cub still own it?
