If I remember correctly it got to around 40 below before I left in mid Dec. The real reason I left is there were thousands of people up there wanting what I wanted; a job on the pipeline, and there were non to be had so I left. While I was up there I worked for a little air freight outfit called Fairbanks Air Service loading airplanes for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still loaded planes in the cold. One of them broke down and it took the mechanics about 2 weeks to get it warm enough to start. The planes were WWII era C-46's with I think 21 cylinder radial engines. All of our equipment that sat outside idled all the time, never shut them off. Inbound planes would radio ahead and the mechanics would get the blankets and heaters all ready and as soon as the props quit turning they were buttoning them up. But you have the nicest northern light displays that I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
