I know my Southern California FBO gets about 1 7X a month and as I've been told by the pilots that fly in we're the only other besides LAX & SAN that have a compatible tow head.

I also personally topped off a 7X (~30,000#s) a few months back for their non-stop trans-atlantic flight. What a beautiful bird!
They carry a tow bar head stowed in the baggage area. You can also use an electric tug.

But its always easier to tell line service you dont have one so they leave you be..
