Plane Pull Challenge Rules
 
Team members will line up adjacent to the pull rope which is secured to the aircraft.  When instructed by the referee, participants will create tension on the rope and prepare to pull.  The team starts pulling at the sound of the horn and the timer will be activated. Participants will pull the aircraft 12 feet (3,5 metres).  After the required distance has been covered, the timer will be stopped and the elapsed time will be recorded as the team’s score.
 
Medals will be awarded to the three fastest teams, and the Plane Pull Cup will also be awarded to the winning team.
