Dec. 6 (UPI) -- A group of 77 female police officers in Dubai set a Guinness record when they pulled a 372,142-pound Boeing 777-300ER a distance of over 300 feet.

The women, participating the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge, worked together to pull the plane the Guinness-required 328 feet and earned the official world record for heaviest aircraft pulled over 328 feet by a team (female).

A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to witness the event and presented a certificate to Maj.-Gen. Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police.

Another team of police officers previously set a record last year for heaviest aircraft pulled over 328 feet by a team (male).
