Hey, radu,
That looks like a C-82. Its successor was the C-119, the first airplane I ever flew on. When it landed, I wasn’t on it anymore. When it comes to airplanes, like a lot of other guys, I’ve taken off in them a might more times than I’ve landed in them. ;>)
Boy, the things ya do when yer young...
Well, I’m off to the crypt. Be Good.

Howdy, TigerHawk.
Well what rotten luck. When I was searching for Berlin Airlift images a while back, this one was in there. I’ll need to get rid of it so I don’t use it again.

Howdy, Kathy.
We got a whoppin’ 2 tenths of an inch. *sigh* Ripped off AGAIN!
Another system comes through Tuesday and maybe we’ll get more rain with that one.
I read in Lake Hood chat that y’all have brutally cold weather the next few days. BRRRRRRRRRRRR Keep it up there! LOL
Our highs this week will be mostly in the 50s. Not too bad.

Howdy, luvie.
Got a whoppin’ 2 tenths of an inch. LOL We can’t win for losin’. Maybe we’ll be luckier Tuesday night and Wednesday when another system comes through but I’m not holing my breath.
We have mostly 50s this week with a 67 and a 49 mixed in.

Well, those temperatures don’t sound bad at all and I’ll cross my fingers that y’all get rain during the next go-’round.
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky today and it got up to about 61. Pretty nice, actually. The freeze and snow that we got killed our pretty green leaves on the trees. They turned black and fell off. LOL!

Ugh! Yeah, you need to keep that up there. LOL
If it’s going to be that cold for long, you need more snow SOON. Y’all are going to have major problems if it doesn’t.

Did you and Gizmo have a good time at the lake yesterday? I hope the clouds moved out so you could enjoy some sunshine.

It’s not going to be too bad this week. About where it should be this time of year except for that 67. Being that warm, we might get a thunderstorm or two when the cold front comes through.
It was cloudy and very windy here. The wind finally died down late in the afternoon but there’s still a stiff breeze.
