...and not to mention:
- Hook up the towbar, and then the tug...
- Disconnect the tug, and then the towbar...
- ...and make sure the pedals don't get slippery when wet...
Even a little 12-ton, nearly dead, 20 year old, tug will rip the nosegear off a 19 ton Dash 8, if given the oportunity....
It makes the same sound as stepping on an empty beer-can... ...only much louder...
Glad it wasn't me.. Three months in the hangar...
