Great video (best seen in full screen) of my second favourite aircraft!!! https://theaviationist.com/2020/11/01/museum-makes-monumental-move-of-massive-xb-70-mach-3-mega-bomber-for-maintenance/ Thanks for posting that - makes me wish I had a bigger monitor (a lot bigger). I can't believe they didn't have a drone flying to get video from above instead of just a couple of GoPros on tripods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boestar Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Many moons ago in YYZ I destroyed the front end of a pickup truck preventing just such an incident. A string of carts had let loose and were heading for a DC-9 at a good pace. I was in the right place at the right time and put the fender in the path. Quite a ride and significant damage. better a pickup than a plane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I guess it is how you do your job. You think the driver would; (a) feel the loss of 17,500 lbs (over 8 tons) (b) would occasionally check his rear view mirror towing that total amount of weight As someone remarked, lucky no one got hurt. Tow job Decades ago I was towing my first boat, a Eaton's Viking with a 25HP on the back with my newly acquired Mustang with the BIG rear tires....... I was going from my "out-laws" in Ottawa back to North Bay, (my first Mil posting). We left OW in the dark so it was a nite tow......Occasionally I would check the mirror to see if everything was OK. At one point I looked in the mirror and the bow of the small boat was pointing about 45 degrees to the right of the centre line.....I slowed and stopped and went back and looked. The rope that was supposed to hold the bow of the boat to the trailer had frayed and broken. My fault and I was lucky but since then I have never towed any boat I owned with out a safety chain loosely attached to the boats bow ring and I use a webbed strap as the main line to the trailer winch..

I imagine the GSE guys were none too happy. I don't remember if they fixed it or scrapped it.
