![]() I don't know the answer to your dilemma, however, there is a picture of the beast towing a 262 by the nosewheel here. That is a bit misleading -- it used the nosegear to steer, but there were cables leading off the towbar to the MLG axles; the actual "oomph" was through those tensioned cables. Any attempt at physically dragging a 262 by its nosegear led to an almost guaranteed strut fracture. There is a "Wings auf der Luftwaffe" episode that features the 262 and shows the entire procedure for rigging the aircraft to the KK for towing - rather fascinating to see how they did it. yfGordon |
