What a wonderful thing !!! Simple , yet so useful. I am surprised this was never thought of for all these years of Jumbojets screaming and whining around airports .

When the cash strapped Soviets started towing their fighter jets it was met with scorn in the US press as I remember.

If you ask me instead of the full body x-ray rubbish they should order this equipment.

may be one of the private airline operators here should take the initiative and place orders rightaway . Think of the fuel they'll save !! unfortunately people think of fuel savings/environment etc., only when the oilprices hit the roof.

Even at low fuel prices they will save money, enough to recover the cost of the towing rig.
