What’s a Plane Pull?

The Plane Pull® is a unique team building activity for groups. It requires participants to come together as a team to achieve a very daunting task — pull an airplane 25 feet! Five-person teams will compete to see who can pull a 30,000-pound plane the fastest! Participants must be at least 16 years old to compete. Each five-person team must raise a minimum of $800 total by the event date.

Please note that in the case of event cancellation due to inclement weather or other reasons, no refund will be provided.
