Someone in another thread mentioned that this is often done to weigh down planes that will sit for a while. Helps prevent the wings from generating lift in high winds
When I used to work at an airport we used to tie smaller aircraft down to large concrete blocks or anchors in the ground. Using old tires doesn't seem nearly as effective as just even using tie down screws like this.
If only planes had dedicated tie points to chain them to the ground....
Get out of here with your magic!
It would be wheely convenient
