LN-ROZ (cn 49608/1572) Unusual solution of position problem. Despite of taking a special machine 'Load Masters' decided to use their own power!!! Three men pushing an aircraft, that's incredible but they have moved it into a right place!!!

Gotta love the guy pushing with one hand!!!

A visitor from Cyprus posted Fri May 8, 2009:
That's because of the invention of the WHEEL

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed April 8, 2009:
Ah, memories from the ramp.
Getting a little tan, loading a few bags and pushing a MD-80 by hand with a few buddies. Makes me smile :-)

A visitor from Germany posted Fri February 27, 2009:
With reverse thrust the aircraft would probably get damaged by small stones or something like that. That

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed January 7, 2009:
Unusual

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 25, 2008:
The radar dom is extreme strong, imagine the force required to push the jet!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 26, 2008:
I rated this photo excellent bacause I am one of the guys on it!

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 9, 2008:
I wonder if it was leaving for departure... :-)

A visitor from Ireland posted Tue May 13, 2008:
Big snout of the mad dog.

A visitor from United States posted Sun April 20, 2008:
That is very funny! I am suprised that they are able to do that.

A visitor from Canada posted Sun April 20, 2008:
The radome is not the best place to be pushing an airplane back since it is composite material and easily damaged.

A visitor from United States posted Wed April 16, 2008:
The power of love!

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 3, 2008:
I always wondered if a human could pushback an aircraft. Nice.

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 3, 2008:
Incredible!
But since this is a Mad Dog... couldn't it have just pushed itself back using its reverse thrusters?
Still, it's an amazing scene.

A visitor from United States posted Mon September 17, 2007:
Got to Love it, being a former ramp agent myself,i have nothing but respect for these guys, they are the ones that make the airport go

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun September 16, 2007:
Really nice shot there! Amazing what manpower can do!

A visitor from Canada posted Fri August 24, 2007:
"Hey, someone tell the pilot to get his foot off the brakes!!!" Great shot of a ground crew using their brains and brawn.

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 11, 2007:
Nevermind the decal on the radome "No Push"

A visitor from Solomon Islands posted Tue August 7, 2007:
Its always interesting to see the people that help to run the airlines in action. Its also funny to see but it happens every now and then on Line Maintenance. We even pushed a fully loaded 747-400 back 1 meter as long as the pilot haven't applied the brakes the 1st time. I've done it few times lately on a E170 no problems(some pilots don't follow the Stop sign at the gate sometimes.).

A visitor from Norway posted Mon July 30, 2007:
Quite optimistic

A visitor from - posted Mon July 16, 2007:
Redefines the term pushback

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun July 15, 2007:
Absolutely hillarious!

A visitor from Canada posted Wed July 11, 2007:
It would be better, if the pilot left the airplane and joined these people to help them to push the airplane!!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon July 2, 2007:
Very unusual

A visitor from Sweden posted Sat May 19, 2007:
The picture was very funny and thats why i give it 5 stars.

A visitor from Poland posted Sat March 10, 2007:
Marvelous!!!

A visitor from Uruguay posted Sat October 14, 2006:
As they say: "Union makes force." ;) T.B.

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Sat October 7, 2006:
Maybe it's the airport's new approach to Employee fitness and Cost saving, kinda like two birds with one stone :).

A visitor from Sweden posted Thu October 5, 2006:
Good morning, Warzaw ground, Scandinavian 242 request start up and push back, please

A visitor from Germany posted Sun July 9, 2006:
On first glance I thought they are nuts. On second glance I saw the airport and I knew.

A visitor from Romania posted Sun February 26, 2006:
OK! Push hard on three!

A visitor from Poland posted Sat October 15, 2005:
Unusual solution is a Polish spe'cialite' de la maison!
