Do you have what it takes to pull a Midwest Airlines aircraft 15 feet across
the tarmac in less than 10 seconds?
Many people can't even imagine an event such as the "Plane Pull" but believe
us when we say that the plane really does move!
On October 3, 2009, seventeen teams competed for the championship,
with all proceeds benefitting the MACC Fund. The winning team each won
roundtrip travel to any Midwest Airlines destination compliments of the airline.
The second place team each received day packs from The North Face
compliments of Laacke & Joys.
