Ford Eagle Bobtail Airport Tug Walkaround Gallery

los Angeles Airport

These little guys were buzzing around all over the tarmac. Did you know LAX has police cars raoming the tarmac enforcing speed limits etc? I saw a service vehicle being booked! This is a general selection of them. They all appear to be Fords. According to the Eagle Bob Tail website, airports have tried conventional looking specialty tractors for these jobs but they were not nearly as reliable as thes Bob Tails. They appear to have a top-loading diff as I can't see a driveshaft in the usual place.
