OK! Push hard on three!

On first glance I thought they are nuts. On second glance I saw the airport and I knew.

Good morning, Warzaw ground, Scandinavian 242 request start up and push back, please

Maybe it's the airport's new approach to Employee fitness and Cost saving, kinda like two birds with one stone :).

As they say: "Union makes force." ;) T.B.

Marvelous!!!

The picture was very funny and thats why i give it 5 stars.

Very unusual

It would be better, if the pilot left the airplane and joined these people to help them to push the airplane!!!

Absolutely hillarious!

Redefines the term pushback

Quite optimistic

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.).

Nevermind the decal on the radome "No Push"

"Hey, someone tell the pilot to get his foot off the brakes!!!" Great shot of a ground crew using their brains and brawn.

Really nice shot there! Amazing what manpower can do!

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

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.

I always wondered if a human could pushback an aircraft. Nice.

The power of love!

The radome is not the best place to be pushing an airplane back since it is composite material and easily damaged.

That is very funny! I am suprised that they are able to do that.

Big snout of the mad dog.

I wonder if it was leaving for departure... :-)

I rated this photo excellent bacause I am one of the guys on it!

The radar dom is extreme strong, imagine the force required to push the jet!

Unusual

With reverse thrust the aircraft would probably get damaged by small stones or something like that. That

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 :-)

That's because of the invention of the WHEEL

Gotta love the guy pushing with one hand!!!

Pushing on the radome good job boys!

What are they doing with it?!

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush! lol!

"SAS XYZ, request pushback" Nice shot!

"i thought i told you to put the chocks in place"

They think they really pushing it))) that's funny one))) like it anyway!

Ready for push back... Release breaks!!

Love it. Bless those guys. Hope the aircraft door will be properly close before the unusual "push back"

Great and unusual picture! Five stars
I would have been afraid of damaging the radome

Wow, that's some man power!

I think the 'job description' of these guys needs to be reviewed ASAP!

Next you will see A guy blowing into an air hose to provide air for the engine starts lol!

We did it with a A320 because he stop to far, it works.

I can assure you that the pilot is sneeking on the parkingbrakes ;)

Why don,t we use a pushback tractor? It´s too ordinary, let´s use our force ! ;)
