It's a banner day

[debgeisler]

Until just now, I'd never really thought of how pilots deal with banners pulled by airplanes. It wouldn't make sense to try to take off dragging them...but in a small plane, there also isn't much of a way to deploy them in mid-air.

The pilot flies low, dragging a hook...and *catches* the banner, then heads back aloft. Spiffy.
