Best Tug’s booth in Hangar C at the AirVenture showgrounds in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was mobbed on Tuesday afternoon as Mark Patey introduced the company’s latest tug—the Sierra. With lots of high-tech features, the Sierra was just finished before the team left for the show, so it is truly a fresh product.
Designed for use at FBOs or for larger airplanes than the company’s Alpha, Bravo, Echo and Romeo tugs can move, the Sierra is designed to prevent damage to aircraft during the tugging process and to help FBOs cover themselves for potential liability. The tug has two touchscreen displays on the main console to set up the machine for success.
