brrrr!
We move one of the larger planes ($3.5M, 10000lbs) from the pump to the hangar with an ancient airport beater car... a Lincoln Town Car I think it is..... using a homemade towbar.
When disconnecting the tow bar, you have to leave the car and get out to pull the connector pin, and unscrew it from the nosewheel. Here is the trick: The transmission indicator on this stupid car reads one click off from the selected gear! Put it in R and that is actually N. Select N and that is actually D. A selection of 2 is actually D. You get the idea. You have to remember what the setup is and listen to the engine rpm drop/rise to know where you have it. (And you can't shut it down because it is hard to start.... also you need it in N and not P so you can get it off the towbar)
So there is a moment or two where you are outside the car, which is both running, and in "some gear other than park", that you have visions of 13000 lbs of this ugly car/beautiful airplane combination go careening down the slope, into the pasture! (yes I've encouraged the principles to correct this but...'they've done it this way for 8 years, why can't I?') Anyway, the pic reminded me of this vision.
I must figure something better out for this situation.
