Hello everyone, I just now registered on the website and was hoping that you guys could help me.
I volunteer at an aviation museum that, as of Wednesday, happens to have 3 aircraft tugs. However, we have exactly [i:9e1d070e11]zero[/i:9e1d070e11] documentation about them. I've tried searching around on the Internet for information, but so far I haven't had much luck. (Three of the results I [i:9e1d070e11]did[/i:9e1d070e11] come across (1, 2, 3) were on this forum, hence why I'm here.) I also tried contacting the company that owned Tug #1 and another museum that might have had information about Tug #2. However, both were to no avail.
This is where you guys come in. Ideally, I would like to know where I can find the original manuals for the machines. Even better, I would like to know any potential history about them. However, if you can offer literally [i:9e1d070e11]any[/i:9e1d070e11] advice as to something that might help or provide any bits of information, I would be very grateful.
Now, on to the aircraft tugs' information:
