BILL'S NEW TOW BAR PROCEDURE: If the airplane is not actually in motion
being pushed or pulled, the bar is off. If my hand leaves the handle, the
bar comes off. I will never leave the airplane with the tow bar hooked up
again for any reason. Not even for a second.

Thanks for sharing your experience Bill.  It takes a big man to openly admit an
event like that and I admire you for that.

My personal policy is no-towing after pre-flight.  I am hoping that I will
always be able to see the tow-bar during the pre-flight (I have caught it once
so far).  If I miss a tow bar during a preflight, I can only imagine what else I
must have missed.
