AUBURN, Maine
Elite Airways in Auburn hosted an “Aircraft Pulling” event on Saturday to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine.
The fundraiser event consisted of teams who compete in pulling a 31,000-pound CRJ200 Aircraft, a length 15-feet. The team that pulled the aircraft 15-feet the fastest won a trophy courtesy of Maine Awards Roguewear in Lewiston.
Auburn Mayor, Jason Levesque, was there to Emcee the event. Big Brothers Big Sisters matches, family, and co-workers of team members got to watch participating teams compete, take pictures in front of the aircraft, and take turns exploring the aircraft after the pulling event was over.
