Military members with 17 Wing Winnipeg put their backs into it on Thursday in the annual plane pull competition.

Teams worked their hardest to pull an 80,000-pound Hercules CC-130 aircraft 50 feet in the least amount of time.

The annual event also included a fire truck pull and was a qualifier for the United Way’s plane pull on September 20 at Red River College’s Stevenson Campus.
