Any truth a PX Fokker was recently used as an "air cart" to start a 737NG, ..... Gossip mill reckons success for the 737 start , but not so good for the poor old Fokker "air cart"
Never heard of that trick before. Request amplification out of sheer curiosity. . Sound like the equivalent of the old Indian rope trick of starting a DC3. Wrap the rope around the spinner, attach the other end to a jeep and drive off. Failing the availability of a jeep, have ten strong men and true, with the chosen hero grabbing one prop blade.
