Vintage tug lands at C.R. Smith Museum
The C.R. Smith Aviation Museum, adjacent to American Airlines headquarters in Fort Worth, is the new home for a small but significant piece of aviation history - "Tug 160," a 1945 baggage tractor that was the oldest piece of ground equipment still in use by American when it was retired in 2001.
The tug was restored by American mechanics at Newark Airport, and was inducted into the museum at a ceremony Thursday. In the photo, Newark mechanics Bill Provod (left) and Ron Huber show off the tug.
