Imagine the amount of Power in that engine which will lift off that aircraft and fly it thousands of miles and the Power of that tractor which pulls/pushes that aircraft on ground!

That's power for sure. How many tons of thrust? Never mind getting the thing off the ground -- but cruising at 400-500 knots once it gets up there!
But a question. If Indian Airlines was going to write their name in English on the planes anyway, why'd they use Hindi script to do it? Seems curious to me.
I wish I knew where the photos were I took of the charity "plane pull" I went to several years ago. Teams of 8 or 10 people took turns pulling an airliner by a rope for a specific distance. The team that did it quickest won the event. I forget all the details now (it's been too long), but I was amazed at how easily they got the plane moving. I guess those wheels don't have a lot of rolling resistance with the brakes not applied!
Every airport I went to,I always amazed by the power of this machine and there are ever ready in every international airport either to push or towing the big plane. See my first entry of Thursday Challenge:) Thanks.
it has always amazed me that planes fly ;)
