There is nothing quite as fun as towing banners with an O-360 SuperCub. I did some banner towing in Atlanta one summer, but I do not remember having the FAA observation. Maybe they skipped it I am not sure. It was great learning experience. I recommend it highly for fresh commercial pilots, particularly beach towing ops. But be very careful since there are a lot of gotchas in it. You need to be good at tailwheel airplanes, good at stick and rudder especially in winds, and be good at staying up with the airplane while towing for hours at a time. All that plus being responsible for laying out the banner and packing it up, doing cross countries, and dodging other rag draggers at events makes it pretty challenging. The pay isn't any good as you know. Flight training is a much better proposition for time building in terms of risk exposure, pay, seasonality, and physical demand. I wouldn't want to do banner towing more than a summer or two.

I got to have some fun flying banners while working for a skydiving outfit. The plane was unusual in that it was a 182. My training consisted of the chief pilot telling me to take off, get a little altitude and throw the hook out. He also reminded me not to snag the nosewheel picking it up. He stayed on the ground. Yeah, I thought it a bit different also but it was kinda like my Navajo checkout but that's a story for another day.Picking up the banner was the most fun part. I'd trim the nose for 70, pick a glide angle and reduce power. As soon as I'd pass the poles the power went to full and Vx was held. Got lucky and never missed a pick up. Flying around Chicago was fun with the banner.
