If you listen to the video you hear them talk about the actual wieght of the plane. No bubble busted here. Those nacelles look wierd though. Curious why they even installed those except for maybe affect.

I've heard of dogs pulling 747's so I don't see why a HEMI couldn't do it. Especially if you could by pass the stupid drive by wire so you can have a little throttle control.

that plane with those nacelle's were used in some movie, I dont remember which though. I'd like to see that VW tow a fully loaded 744 (with pax, fuel, etc)

if you look at where #1 and #4 would be it looks like they 'added' aux tanks... my guess is in the movie, its a 'long range' plane

OK well I must say... I'm not impressed with the VW pulling the plane at all, but it holding 7 tons of weight is another thing!

I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot of weight inside there.[:-]

yeh I was thinking about that too, I wonder if they made the coil suspension solid or added air bags or something to the VW to handle all the extra weight.
