WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW)- Have you ever imagined pulling a plane by a rope? Well, there are teams moving it 25 feet in less than 10 seconds.
Wichita’s third annual ‘Pull a Plane’ event was Saturday afternoon — a partnership between B-29 Doc and the WSU Tech Foundation.
Doc is a restored B-29 that weighs almost 80-thousand pounds. And it’s raising money for a good cause–25 teams of 25 people are raising a minimum of $2,500 for education.
“Each team is tasked with pulling it 25 feet the fastest and the top three teams will pull in a championship round to crown the winner,” executive director of the WSU Tech Foundation Courtney Sendall said.
The proceeds help finance student-focused initiatives for the WSU Tech Foundation and fund Doc’s hangar and exhibits.
