Makes perfect sense and the towbar/jig looks purpose built, so I'd say yes. Of course mx can do alot of things with the airplanes that rampers can't. I'm always amazed at how tight mx packs airplanes into hangars w/ overlapping wings and all.

On the same idea of this, but completely different.....one time my crew was kind enough to taxi the airplane into a light pole. The winglet was sitting on top of the pole, and one of the rampers had the idea to get the supertug to raise the airplane up off the pole. I quickly pointed out that the winglet is behind the fulcrum of the MLG and it would be disastrous to raise the nose. It took a good hour, but mx sourced a Nitrogen cart and pumped up the MLG strut. It was quite a sight when the winglet came up, releasing the torque on the pole, and the pole shot back and forth like a bent tree branch.
