    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 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.

And of course with all the hand signals on the ship, again, no big deal for you. Like all professionals, you make it look easy.

    Thanks for the peek at the operation. One question; The umbilical to the plane is it communications to the flight deck only or do you have any control over the jet's brakes? Not that you probably need it, since there is enough mass in the tug to stop the slow-moving dual.

      You are correct…it is the communication line to the flight deck. We let the pilot know when to release and set brakes of the aircraft. But the pilot controls that :)

    It's great to see this perspective - one I'd not normally get to see.
    You make it look so easy. It's almost as though you've done it before 😉

    Another great video.
    Question- besides releasing the parking brake, (obviously) do the pilots have to do anything during your push?

    • @ladyandtheramp

      Not regarding anything pertaining to us (the ground crew). But usually they are doing their checks up there. And once they are out on the line after we have finished pushing…they finish they check lists.

    Amazing. Right on the centerline. I bet you backup an RV trailer amazingly well.

    You make that look easy which I know it takes skill. Nice to work where you love what you do and have co-workers with the same mind set
