The Charleston Gazette - News - Plane clash: Strongman, groups move 727s for charity at Yeager Airport : "CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Usually, it takes a pilot in the cockpit to get a Boeing 727 rolling down the runway. But Saturday at Yeager Airport, the ground crew took the aircraft for a spin.

Strongman Phil Pfister faced off with a 155,000-pound purple and orange FedEx plane to help raise money for Charleston's Ronald McDonald House. He became the first person to successfully pull a plane alone during this type of charity event."
