I've seen one guy pulling a plane, but it was nowhere as big as a Boeing 747.

I don't think I can find a video, though.

750 Nm torque, V10 i beleive...

That must come in handy...

when your 747 won't start you can give it a little push

Impressive pulling power nonetheless :D :good:

BTW - it's the first time I see a Jumbo with the twin engines put together :? weird...

Yeah, maybe its just a body nothing more.

Well spotted BTW, never seen that before too :shock: !

Well the plane weighs 155 tons when the VW is pulling it, I have no clue how much it weighs on a regular basis.

Anyway - what about it they take out all the seats and cabin stuff? :wink: that's some serious weight saving...

Yeah, maybe its a cargo 747?

aarggh, can't see the video, is there a download version?
the twin engine "Jumbo", there was a strange plane shown in the new BOnd movie with a twin engine mounted on the wings, could it be the same ?

I wonder if they tried it without the extra weight in the Toureg..

I've seen once a vid of a guy pulling a 747, so, a Touareg it's not such a big deal... :?
