Hours of slow flight, on the verge of stall, over the same section of
beach over and over again?

I was once offered a towing job years ago.  Real low budget operation
on the Jersey shore, had a couple of extremely ratty Cessna Bird Dogs
and a Stearman (which was the only reason I considered it).  So low
budget that they didn't even care that I didn't have a commercial
certificate, only that I had a reputation as a good tailwheel pilot.
Turned him down as he wanted a commitment for 8 hours a day, Saturday
and Sunday, all summer long.  One day a week and I might have gone for
it, but I had a life.

Couple of weeks later one of the Bird Dogs crashed while picking up a
banner from an island.
