Douglas DC-6 over ALASKA

In the most northern state of the USA, many small towns and remote places rely on supplys via air transportation. Everts Air Cargo does the job and they use the well known vintage C-46 and DC-6 aircraft which are especially well-suited to the many shorter, unimproved gravel or ice runways in Alaska. They haul everything that fits into the planes, from cookies to fuel. In the summer of 2017 I had the chance to take a look behind the scenes at their base at the airport in fairbanks. The Everts Air Cargo fleet consists of two C-46, eight DC-6, one DC-9, two EMB 120 freighters and two EMB 120 passenger aircraft Special thanks to Peter Merry for giving me that unique chance. Also, thanks to Everts Air Cargo for the Hoodie, it fit`s well.
