  1. So you're saying that it took off with the tug attached to the nose gear! I would have loved to see that!

  2. A sight to behold for everyone watching indeed. And I thought this was just an urban legend.
    How can you miss a tub attached to the front wheel with the checklist in hand and doing it step by step... oh wait.

  3. Improper term used. Should be "Tow bar". Tug makes me think of a 7,000lb Equi-tec pulling a Citation out of the hangar. This happens way too much. Particularly nasty for retracts. Watched a Malibu land nose gear up after this same scenario.
