Into "The Hangar", A "Beaver", "Fort Frankie", and "Life Is A Beech"!
I have been asked before how maintenance is done on an Otter when it needs to be "hangar-bound", and the Otter is on floats. First, the "hangar boys" put the trailer into the lake, which I drive straight onto.......
"Success"!
Then, the "junior" man has to get wet..........
We "pull" her up the hill........
"Back her" into the hangar.....
"Done deal"!
ODK in the hangar, I become "dock photographer". Matt runs up his Beaver.........
An "ethereal light" envelops the Beaver as Matt begins his take-off......
ODK is back in the water, and I take her to "Fort Frankie" to drop off some passengers......
"Boats"......
..."everywhere"!
Back at the dock, Northwest Flying's Beech 18 C-FNKL taxis down beside our docks to play a "Twin Junior" symphony, and gets the "last word"!
"Adios, we're outta' here"!
