Interesting Dave. Sofar PSXT did not recognise Tow Trucks, but maybe it can via the Callsign...

Probably the towed Air Canada plane gets a temporary callsign with TOW? If so the towed aircraft has its transponder on, and that would give options for PSXT.

I think that Dave said it is the tow truck that is transponder-equipped?

Yes but the data of the object point to an airliner, not a TOW truck:

<opt airl="ACA" type="B38M" day="7" hh="39" reg="C-GEHV" cs="TOW 913" />
