The Task and the Stats
Our task was simple: aerotow from Moontown Airport, Brownsboro, Alabama to Marion Co. Airport, Jasper, Tennessee; fly 3 turnpoints on the Sequatchie Valley Ridge; Land at Marion Co. Airport; and then aerotow back to Moontown. We made such good time that we jumped the gap at Chattanooga and continued south to Gasdsen, Alabama.
