No, I don’t think so. When they show #2 tow plane taking off, when it’s perpendicular to the camera you can see straight through and out the other window. Cubs are small planes with not a lot of space in the interior. Here’s what it looks like with a pilot in it. I guess it’s possible that the pilot is way back, but it looks empty to me.
Also, it doesn’t seem like the path, especially of the first plane to take off, is something a pilot would do, but who knows with gusts that strong.
EDIT. Apparently I’m completely wrong. Just found the reddit thread. Someone is wrong on the internet! And it’s me!
