While it may be possible that a tractor-riding "wing walker" could have fewer visual obstructions than the person behind the wheel, the "walker" would still only be a few feet away from the driver, and see nearly the same view as the driver. When you're pushing aircraft with wingspans between 100 to 200 feet, you really need someone "out there" to make sure the wingtips are not going to clip something. | |
