I've seen one guy pulling a plane, but it was nowhere as big as a Boeing 747.

I don't think I can find a video, though.

750 Nm torque, V10 i beleive...

That must come in handy...

when your 747 won't start you can give it a little push

Well the plane weighs 155 tons when the VW is pulling it, I have no clue how much it weighs on a regular basis.

Anyway - what about it they take out all the seats and cabin stuff? that's some serious weight saving...
Yeah, maybe its a cargo 747?
