Nice! That plane is a Beechcraft Kingair I believe... 3/4 wheelers make great tow vehicles, my instructor uses a Foreman S.


Very cool...now put on a helmet!!

Really?!?!? To go less than 5 mph across a solid level surface to move a plane a couple hundred yards?!?

Have you ever bothered to read the rules of 3ww forum? NO posting of pics without helmets, so I skirted that rule by posting, but I did not want the C-list ad to disappear and the pic as well.

SO YES wear a freaking helmet...go debate helmet use somewhere else please.

I bet it's in unbelievable shape.. airplane owners are understandably sticklers for preventative maintenance.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to start anything, that just seems ludicrous. I have read the rules, but I would expect there to be a little bit of leanency for certain situations. In this situation a helmet would get in your way. (I know this from experience, towing planes is hard enough without a bulky fiberglass shell impeding movement and reducing visibility.)

Again I'm NOT trying to start anything.

It's probably been in a hangar most of its life too.

Preventative maintenance is a must, because you can't pull over at 5000 feet! :D

You can still see the paint lines on the rear tires and the rear diff looks brand new.

I hear boeing is thinking about using big reds to dolly the airbus around the runway haha. Just one more thing a big red can do....the list seems to be endless.
