Friday, May 25, 2007 New Aircraft Tractors Enhance RAF Capability By FlyingNews @ 1:11 PM :: 919 Views :: 0 Comments :: Military Aviation   The RAF has invested in new aircraft towing tractors that enhance ground handling and protect the environment at the same time by saving thousands of pounds on fuel. Moving heavy aircraft such as the giant Lockheed C17 Globemasters and Tristar passenger jets calls for specialist vehicles and the RAF has purchased 32 Large Aircraft Tow Tractors (LATTs). They will be distributed across all RAF Main Operating Bases such as RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, RAF Marham in Norfolk and RAF Kinloss in Scotland. Others will operate in the Falklands, Ascension, Akrotiri and Gibraltar.
