“Will they work with my wheel pants?” That’s one of the most asked questions we get when talking to customers about innovative Lindy’s aircraft tugs. And the answer is, YES. All three Lindy’s airplane tug models will work on planes both with and without wheel pants. All of our aircraft tugs also work equally well [...] The future is now and you can see it in Lindy’s aircraft tugs. To remain competitive going into the future, experts predict that the aviation industry and its attendant ground support operations will have to work harder, smarter and leaner. Marketed for FBO, corporate or individual ground operations, Lindy’s versatile aircraft tugs and tow tractors [...] Those of us at Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Co. wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. In America, the first weeks of a new year always seem to bring unrivaled optimism and 2010 is no different.

Both the feds and the aviation industry are worried that there won’t be enough trained screeners or certified screening facilities to handle the job. An expansion of the [...] Ergonomic design, like that used to craft Lindy’s Aircraft tugs, takes into account the many shapes and sizes of the human form. In designing material handling products, trucks, airplanes, industrial equipment, office chairs, desk heights and nearly everything else, manufacturers used to position seats, steps, controls, platforms, steering wheels, etc. to suit the “average man.” The problem is there [...] Under pressure to cut carbon emissions and beef up fuel economy, the FAA and airline industry are examining a number of interesting proposals geared at making the industry more eco-friendly.
