Also, you must figure that the plane is 30+ years old. God knows how
many other times those attach points have been subjected to overload.

I cringe every time I think of it.



I wish planes (especially rental planes) had "Do not push here!"
stenciled on tempting but inappropriate places to push. That would be
as useful as many of the other placards.




I remember looking at the stickers on the control surfaces of a Yak at
SMO some years back.

They said "NO PUSHSKI"

As for the pair featured in Jay's posting, I gotta wonder:

What kind of guy sends The Girl to push the plane?

What kind of girl puts up with it?

I'd push the plane if I thought the other person had to use the rudder.
I'm lucky, I'm a pilot too, so if it requires pushing and rudder I
usually get the rudder duty, but I would push.
