Guinness World Records lists a result by Canadian Kevin Fast: on 17 September 2009 at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Ontario, he pulled a CC-177 Globemaster III military transport aircraft 8.8 metres. Guinness gives the aircraft’s weight as 188.83 tonnes and the attempt’s duration as 1 minute 16 seconds. The claim that Fast pulled a car 30 metres conflates this record with a 2011 event: Fast and his son pulled two fire trucks together over that distance.
