Oh, and by the way, Parnel, I haven't been on a tow crew in quite a while... not since my "incident" with an RJ a few years back

But while we're on the subject, here are some pics I got by e-mail of an A340 that went AWOL last week while under tow at YVR (a result of a snapped towbar and the momentum an A340 builds up when being tugged across the ramp):

Tow tractor, well underneath the aircraft

Tow tractor, sans cab roof

Some, but by no means all, of the damage

I drive these types of tractors quite regularly... to see one with out the protective steel where my head would normally be is a bit stomach-churning... luckily the driver was not injured.
