Participants from across the state tested their strength in a giant game of tug-of-war against a Boeing 757 jetliner — all to support Special Olympics Indiana.

Special Olympics Indiana hosted its 22nd annual Plane Pull challenge at the Indianapolis International Airport postal hub.

“It was harder than we thought,” Special Olympics partner, coach and volunteer Kristin Schoonveld said. “We thought the jet would just move no matter what. We got it in 10 seconds though.” “It was really good. We needed to keep on pulling and not give up. It tested our strength and abilities,” Spaulding said.
