EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Flaglor High-Tow N2840C, an intriguing aviation marvel from the early 1960s. Built by F.K. Chuck Flaglor at Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1957, this hybrid aircraft was a unique combination of a Waco fuselage and wings from a Fleet aircraft. Powered by a 220hp Continental R-760 engine, the High-Tow was specifically designed for the demanding task of glider towing. The image captures the High-Tow in its element at Groton, Connecticut, in 1963. The aircraft's sleek design and powerful engine are evident as it prepares for takeoff, ready to tow a glider into the sky. The combination of the Waco fuselage and Fleet wings created a balanced and efficient aircraft, making it an ideal choice for this specialized role. The High-Tow was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry in the mid-20th century. Its hybrid design pushed the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft engineering, and its dedication to glider towing showcased the versatility of aviation technology. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era in aviation history, a time when the possibilities seemed limitless and the skies were the limit.
