Was supper cool. It looked like when you tow a car. At first I thought WTF? Then my eyes focused and saw it. Saw it flying over again but just one plane. I figure they must be training.
When I was much younger I flew gliders. Our club used a Bellanca as a towplane. Flying at the end of a 200-foot tether was a complete blast.

Sometimes the towplane with glider flew directly over campus. I’d look up and cheer them on.

There was a big red ball handle in the middle of the instrument panel. When the altimeter said Now ... Grab pull ~loud clunk~ I’m freeee

That would be awesome! About an hr away I have a place I can learn to glide...have some friends that paraglide......sometimes on skis! Definitely something I'm gonna try!
