Can we have a tractor
« on: February 04, 2005, 11:17:52 PM »
That is one to tow around aircraft.  This would be handy for all those times your engines are dead and you roll two inches off the end of the runway with kills to land.  Or to speed up the whole rearm pad thing for some people.  You wouldn't get any perks for this, just one of the helping out your fellow man thing.  Or hell, maybe you would get a little points although I don't know how you would score it.

Just throwing the idea out there.

Can you imagine the pileup at the end of the runway?  Mission taking off, and the lead guys stop to order ice cream.  ROFL

Or hey, how about one of those drink carts like they have at the golf course?  :)

Hey, I happen to fly better when I'm loaded.

When your PLANE is loaded? Or...

:D

I like the idea Sullie, I've suggested it myself once too.
Or when you have to force land away from a field, you'd still be able to be towed back!
