Need to use a towbar or aim the tail wheel the direction you want to go.
Best aircraft movement scene I know of is in the Defender as they pull/push/squeeze the CAF Zero out the hangar door.

That'd be low tide at Lake Memorial.

I barely made it in there this afternoon myself to have a look about, and arrived too late to partake in the 'Poon Tuggin' Winternationals exhibition. Entry road was slicker than fresh owl poop on the proverbial doorknob, and we almost became one with the irrigation ditch slippin' and slidin' around.

Looks as if she dug in her heels and didn't wanna go play by the look of them ruts she left behind in the wake.... :wink:

By the looks of her when I got to the field, she's out of the dirt and on to some solid ground for a little work. I never did try the "doin' it from the behind" way of movin' one of these monsters, but from the looks of the end result it can indeed be done. I'm guessing that this young feller started out with a standard cab pickup and stretched it into a quad cab by the time this was all done, no?

Boy does that bring back memories. People can say all they want about how slippery an icy midwestern road can be in February but it's nothing compared to an Arizona cotton field irrigation ditch service road after a winter rain. That stuff was like driving on STP. Try a Ford next time. :D
