What Is a Plane Pull?
So you want to know what's involved in a Charity Plane Pull?
It’s quite simple really. A group of people (maximum 10 per team aged over 18 years) will attempt to pull a DC3 aircraft 20 metres in the fastest time. Pulling will be just like having a tug of war without the opposition pulling back! Teams will need to pay an entry fee of $150 and will need to raise a minimum of $500 to compete.
This exciting new event will involve the entire community from service groups to small and large business groups as well as sporting and community groups. Prize money will be offered to the winners of the Plane Pull and the Fundraising Section. The prize money must be donated to a charity or community group of the winner’s choice.
