Plane Pull at DIA for Special Olympics Colorado


August 10th was the inaugural Plane Pull fundraiser for the Special Olympics Colorado at DIA.
Funds raised will provide year round training and athletic competition to more than 13,000 athletes with intellectual disability.

Signature Flight Support hosted the event.  Teams of 25 paid the $1250 entrance fee, then raced against the clock and each other to pull a Boeing 757 twelve feet.

It was well organized, entertaining and family friendly.  The weather could not have been more perfect!

This is what a 757 looks like.  Can a team of 25 people really pull it?
 
Yes!
   

Did they get best dressed team?  They deserved to!


Another one of the 11 Jeppesen teams!


The event was well staffed with volunteers
