Exclamation NO TOW

I am not in the field of aviation , but am curious. the other day , in india , i saw , painted on , i think an airbus , the words "NO TOW" on the nose wheel landing gear doors. i saw this on two or three aircraft. what does it mean ...i suppose it means don't tow ...but how does one then tow such an aircraft , eg into a maintenance hangar ?

i hope my question is not too basic. infact , i would like to suggest that pprune have a separate forum for us , so that it doesn't detract from the seroius aviator. perhaps such a forum could be called something like "passenger-pilots" !

Ahh, but there is such a forum! Two, in fact:

The Questions forum states:
"If you have a question for professional pilots please post it here. If it isn't a Rumour or News then this is where you will probably find it.", which is where this type of general question usually recieves the fastest answer, and the

Passenger & SLF forum is for less operational and more general information that passengers like to ask.
"If you are regularly a passenger on any airline then why not post your views or questions here? Many of us pilots like to know exactly what you think of us, the job, the airline or anything that you think we should hear about."

(SLF stands for "Self loading freight", a pilot nickname for passengers )

In any case, welcome to PPRuNe, I have transfered your question to the "questions" forum, you will find it (and hopefully your answers, there.)
