I did not realize you made tugs that big. I do have one suggestion for the big tug, nose gear load vs aircraft weight class agreement so that if the nose is really light, we don't accidentally have the tug set for a really heavy aircraft. I have a lot of ideas for small tugs suitable for owners to put in their own hanger. Things like summon the tug from the hanger to the aircraft, return to base (tug makes its way back to the hanger and hooks up to the charger and closes the hanger door), aircraft and hanger awareness (don't let the operator push the tail through the wall...) Maybe someday we can have a tug that can pull the aircraft out, disconnect, go back to its charger, close the door and wait for the aircraft to return, open the hanger, find the nosewheel, hook up and put the aircraft back in the hanger... Imagine being able to load and unload without you, your cargo or passengers ever having to get out in the cold, hot or wet - it might even pay for itself...

These brothers are very smart, and they did it off their own backs, granted from easier times, but nothing was handed to them. On holidays both 16, they decked someone's yard to earn some money, by the time they were 18, their decking company employeed 200 people. Selling this and their inventive skills got them both the money and the motivation and the smarts to invent stuff more inline with their passion - flying. The young generation of today don't have these opportunities sadly, but these guys came from an era before quite so many GMOs and other toxic slush crushed people's creativity right before they even finish school. These brothers also appreciate that, I've heard them talk about the state of things, and they are humble enough to realise they had the opportunity to work so hard. Maximum respect

It's the only business that they run that would cater to the young "line workers" or young general employees perhaps in high school as high school jobs or in college as college jobs. Since they are a manufacturer, you can find a plethora of things for a teenager to do and early 20's to do and keep them out of trouble and "in the zone" so to say.

They build the Sierra for the FBO which sees aircraft of all types and categories. Our local FBO is ordering a Sierra. Better service for the customers means more business, while the features will lower the FBO's cost of doing business. And the owners of the FBO are a husband and wife who started out with a small Cessna flying center nearly 40 years ago, and built their own family business over the years. They are most definitely not the "1%."

It was a brotherhood out there in those tents, hangars, cars, trucks, & buses. Bottom line, it was a blast.
