When an aircraft is under tow, I'd imagine the tug drivers would be in contact with ground controllers. Is there any special call sign which is used to identify a plane under tow? Is it a callsign attached to the tug?
Also I believe there are area's which do not have any sort of ATC management? What would the wording of the hand off from the ATC controller be? Would they say something like "you're on your own" knowing that you'll contact ATC when you re-enter managed airspace? Do they ask you to monitor a certain frequency?
