"Ketam" pushback

Recommended Posts

This sort of giant crab mover is a hit.

The feeling when it actually "Lift" the nose gear and "hug" it, then push or pull.

 

Less connection between plane and tow truck like normal way of towing a plane.

I've seen one towing an aircraft with unbelievable speed ohmy.gif

 

Once we had to be towed and pull forward about 3 bay ahead because all 3 wants to push back, i felt such speed more than we taxi!! for got the ground speed!

Tk + Denny,

Do you think they will replace the conventional "truck + towbar" system?

Imran: Its only 2nd time I see it. Still quite rare amongst airports, not even in NRT/TYO.

 

TK's description "hug and lft"...macam National Geo describing how a scorpion kills its enemy. Hug, lift then flip it over before stinging it with poison.

Man, anyone took notice of the RR thrust reversers? It looks a bit worn out, like origami smile.gif
