In Russia, you are the tug!
Passengers rally to push 'frozen' plane in Sibera. Interesting video of a stuck Tupolev. The passengers really didn't want to stay in this balmy place! (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
And those were the First Class passengers. You don't wanna know what they make you do in Coach.....
I recall an Eastern pilot telling the passengers to lift their feet at take off to lighten the weight but I was never asked to assist with the push back.
I wonder if that really helps...
Yep. US Navy does it on aircraft carriers all the time. A lot quicker than getting a towbar and tug into position.
“It was minus 52. The plane had stood on the runway for 24 hours and the pilots forgot to take off the parking brake. That caused the brake pads to freeze up,“ he said.Passengers pushed the plane until it was able to turn and then the tow truck took over, he said. The flight then took off and went smoothly .
Hopefully pilots do forget to take the brakes off of airplanes...
Complimentary drinks for all.
