Boeing 737-800 Standard Pushback (Middle Gate)

This is a pushback for an American Airlines Boeing 737-800 and is considered a "standard" pushback at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Arizona. The push is from the middle gate.

Can we please appreciate how amazing this lady's driving skills are. Some people find it hard to reverse a car, this lady is reversing a damn plane without even being in it! I loved this. Thank you so much for sharing ma'am. It's not often we get to see the unsung heroes at work. Fantastic and you did it all with a big beautiful smile. How wonderful.

@@ladyandtheramp You're very welcome! Can you use the same pushback tractor/tug on Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, etc. planes, or does it require a different attachment/adaptor for the different manufacturers? Can you use the same tug utilized on a 737 on a heavy, like a 777?

[@dennisk5818]

@@ladyandtheramp I'm a glider rated pilot, but I thoroughly enjoy walking around and under large aircraft. Mine is a more peaceful sport. At best, I'll get a John Deere tractor, driven by an older guy, with silver hair showing from underneath a baseball cap, to pull me out to the staging area while I hold onto a wing to keep it level. No tow bar, just a rope! It's beautiful to soar under large CU's, using air currents and your weather wits.

That was one of my daily functions until I retired from American Airlines (CLT) in 2020. That's one of the more interesting and challenging activities, especially when pushing A330's and other wide bodies (and at night! ) One of the high points of the profession. 3:27

[@ladyandtheramp]

Oh that is awesome! I really want to push a wide body. In our station, we get just a couple a day. So there is only a small set of people who are wide body trained. But I am on the training list! I have not seen an A330 come in here yet. Only 777 and 787. I bet nighttime was challenging. Does CLT push to lines or specific spots?

So are you a airplane mechanic? Asking as my pops used to work for Delta and I remember as a kid he took me to work(he was a mechanic). He would board the plane, do some things.....then he would connect the headset to the plane and push it back. I remember him once putting the headphones on me, going into the plane and talking to me from the cockpit. Was the coolest thing. Then we drove over to the great big Delta hangers (SLC, UT). I got to take home a 737 lightbulb (was cool to me at like age 11, haha)
