Children play tug-of-war with 747 jumbo jet for 'Day of Sky'

Sunday, 23 September 2007

NARITA -- Schoolchildren and their parents played a tug-of-war with a jumbo jet at Narita Airport last week as part 'Day of Sky' festivities.

About 180 elementary school children pulled three ropes attached to a Boeing 747-400F aircraft parked at the airport, but couldn't get the jet moving. But after 300 parents also joined in, the children managed to move the aircraft for about 30 meters.

The government designated Sept. 20 as the Day of Sky in 1992 in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the resumption of Japan's civil aviation, which had been suspended since Japan's surrender in World War II. (Mainichi)
