The sun was shining, the planes were ready, and our community came together for another unforgettable Plane Pull!
On September 29, teams gathered at London International Airport to take on one seriously heavy challenge: pulling a 66,000-pound aircraft across the tarmac.
With teams working together, cheering each other on, and racing against the clock, Plane Pull 2026 was a day full of energy, laughter, and plenty of sunshine.
Stronger Together
Plane Pull is more than moving a massive airplane.
It’s about what happens when people come together for a shared purpose.
This year, 46 teams and more than 700 participants put their strength to the test, raising $60k+ to support local programs across our community. Every dollar raised helps support work addressing some of the challenges people face close to home.
A Day to Remember
From the first pull to the final cheers, the energy on the tarmac was impossible to miss.
Teams pulled, laughed, and gave it everything they had. Friends, family members, colleagues, volunteers, and supporters came out to cheer them on and celebrate what we can accomplish when we work together.
And, of course, there was a little friendly competition along the way.
