Strongest man pulls fighter jet at Aviodrome

The strongest man in the Netherlands Yoëll Blom - in the category up to 105 kilograms, came to Aviodrome Aviation Museum last week to attempt to pull a fighter jet. It was the Saab 37 Viggen weighing about 11,800 kilograms.

Despite Yoëll's experience pulling shovels and trucks, including a 28,000-kilogram truck, it was still exciting. For example, the wheels on an airplane are already very different from those on a truck.

The first attempts were all too exciting! And after some minor adjustments, on attempt five it was hit. Yoëll began pulling the jet. After five seconds there was movement. And less than thirty seconds later, the fighter jet moved over twenty meters! Phenomenal that Aviodrome was the setting for this top performance.
