This is going to sound daft...but...if we have the scenario..you land in a farmers field. Your ok...the aircraft is in 1 piece but isn't flying out..the fields too rough etc or a/c is damaged.
So you have to truck the a/c to engineering. Now will a C152 or C172 fit onto the back of a truck easily to be driven to engineering. I mean surely which ever way you stick it onto the truck it'll be overhanging horribly?
Could be amusing having facing 'the right way'....as the truck passed 45 mph the rear end goes light and lifts...could end up being one hell of a low-level flight
