VW tows 747
« on: November 24, 2006, 03:04:28 AM »
Pretty sweet, here's some pics of the V10 Turbo Diesel Touareg towing a 190 tonne 747.  The only modifications were a stonger tow hitch and adding ballast.  It did 7 passes of the runway, got up to nearly 15 km/h, and was able to stop using the standard brakes.

I once seen a guy from Scotland do that once. Then again 12 of the calgary flames players towed a 737 300 out of its gate when the tow truck at the air port broke. I dont find this that great of a accomplishment, but  then again..........
