Idea 1: In the spirit of filling 55 gallon drums with water to level a
fuselage (the old fast pack readers will remember that one!), install
hydraulic lifts under the tarmac in front of the hangar to tilt the ground
up and simply roll the aircraft back into place.

OK, Idea 2: My friend has this little battery powered dynamo that she hooks
to the nose wheel of her Bonanza.  It seems to work great and it's very
small.  Perhaps you could adapt your nose wheel to accept something like it.

I used to use a battery and then a gas powered tow machine that hooked on
where my tow bar connected.  That worked nicely too but was very cumbersome.
I also mounted a light on the front of it... That made hooking it up at
night a LOT easier.
