What is this?
One of the many overlooked needs on any airfield are the various support duties. Here is a ubiquitous Air Force tug at Biggs AFB during the late 1950s. This vehicle is an MB-2 that was produced by several manufacturers, with Euclid being the best known. They were often called "Ukes" by ground personnel. The MB-2 continued in production for many years and the later models changed somewhat in appearance. This "retired" MB-2 continues to soldier on in civilian service at the Midland, Texas airport.
