Wasaya – United Way Plane Pull
Plane Pull is BACK!
IT’S OUR 5TH ANNIVERSARY!!
The United Way of Thunder Bay and Wasaya Airways are proud to announce the return of the Wasaya – United Way Plane Pull on Saturday, September 23, 2023 in support of the United Way of Thunder Bay and the Northwestern Ontario Indigenous Youth Achievement and Recognition Awards!
Get ready for the ultimate tug-of-war challenge and test your team’s strength. Teams will race to pull a plane weighing MORE THAN 26,000 lbs. over 50 feet and the fastest time will win!
Each team can have up to 8 members, however, only 6 can pull the plane at a time so you can rotate team members out for different pulls. Each team will have three turns at pulling the plane.
After round three, all times will be added up and teams will be split into divisions and the top two in each division will showdown in one final pull.
The goal…to pull an airplane across the finish line in the fastest time.
