USAirways Jet Pull

I know it's been a while since I last posted. Heck, it's been almost 3 months! Anyway I figured now was as good of a time as any. This morning we had a jet pull at work with the proceeds going to the United Way.

First off: Me and 8am just don't do well together. :)
Second: An Airbus A319 is one heavy plane. Yeah, I know there are MUCH bigger, but it still isn't easy to pull.

Here are the pictures that Josh took while we were pulling.


This was an Airbus A320 that was just sitting around in the maintenance area so I took a picture of it.

Here's the baby that we were going to pull. All 100,000 lbs of her.





Me and Mark getting ready, with Matt in the background.



































Our group picture after finding out that we just made 2nd place!!!! Not bad for a bunch of IT employees.

Another group shot.

As we were walking away, we found out that we had inadvertantly cheated. There were 21 of us instead of 20 so we had to do the pull over again.

At this point we're all angry, so watch out airplane.

Overall our 2nd time was .05 seconds slower than our first time. Pretty good for having 1 less guy.















This is just Austin wanting his picture taken in the hanger. He'd never been in it before.
