Useful income for a flying club at the end of winter when money is at its tightest. It's also great fun flying a banner; the pickup is awfully fun, with just enough of a tinge of danger to make it exciting. It's an odd feeling when the banner lifts and the aircraft feels as though you've slammed the brakes on.

Anyway, wd muggy banner blokes.

I was hoping they might start dogfighting.

Useful income for you at the end of Winter when your mum is at her tightest, imo.

I didn't see the aircraft in question, but usually you'd be using something like a Super Cub for banner towing. Flat out at 90 mph and not a great deal in the way of usable ailerons, really.

In short, it souldn't be much of a dogfight.

Not the convincing finish I was looking for really, sort of bundled it over the line. They all count though, of course.
