Tug waggles its wings - Release immediately (No exceptions)

The following isn't foolproof, but a past CFI, who is also a tug pilot,
mentioned it to me as something worth remembering. It seems likely to be
correct in all but the worst turbulence or rotor.

You can distinguish the "get off" wing waggle from a correction by the tug
using full aileron deflection in both directions for the signal.
