Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Since we’re talking airplanes… I don’t know much about them in general. But when I was 19 I spent the summer in Alaska at a lodge/air strip. I spent a lot of time loading/unloading/fueling a small fleet of 12 planes. And every Thursday this plane (c-46???) would bring by 1,000 gallons of av-gas that we would pump into a transfer truck. We ran everything off of it, quads, pickups… The c-46 would buzz the gravel runway at full speed very low to warn everyone he was coming. We would stand at the end of the runway, it felt like you could almost reach up and touch it when it roared by.
