NTSB accident and incident record under N90866
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA 25-235 · serial 25-8156005
The tow plane pilot's loss of airplane control for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence. Contributing to the accident was the glider instructor's diversion of attention away from the tow airplane which resulted in his delay in releasing the tow rope once the tow plane was no longer visible from the glider cockpit.
