OK...not beach related, but how often do you see people towing an airplane with a rope? The Boy Scouts had a fund raiser called "Pull for the Cure" at the air show we did two weeks ago in Portsmouth, NH. There were 9 teams of 20 people. Each team took a shot at towing our 757 ten feet as fast as they could...that's 168,000 pounds. It was obvious that this team had no shot at moving the airplane so I helped at the end of the rope. By the time the plane started rolling the empty space on the rope ahead of me was full of Delta folk and members from other teams helping this team to complete the pull.
Fastest pull was 12 seconds. It raised $48,000 for brain injuries in the Wounded Warrior program!
