But, depending on the number of airplanes on the ramp, it is often better to drive a truck to the parked plane, as she did here. I am often amazed at the skill these young women display when backing large tanker trucks. Though they are driving 4-wheel vehicles, not tractor-trailer rigs. It's not like serving ice cream from behind a drugstore counter.
