CHIBA, Japan - About 360 children and adults joined forces to tow a roughly 133-ton Boeing 787 aircraft decorated with Pokemon characters at Narita airport near Tokyo, moving it about 80 meters in an event to spur interest in aviation.

A 100-meter rope was attached to the 62.8-meter-long jet so the participants could pull it on the premises of one of Japan's busiest international airports.
