blues deville Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 This photo was part of a recent contest and scored as “excellent”. Interesting lighting and maybe a slight editing but what’s really excellent is the repair patch directly below the cargo door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Nothing like a big piece of boilerplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Look below the door sill. It looks like a patch over a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st27 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Back in the day, the forklift was a pretty efficient operation...way more efficient in the hands of a skilled operator than the labour intensive scissor lift and Dolly’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that was the case but today’s baggage and cargo loading systems are pretty fast too when also placed in the right hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st27 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 As I mentioned, back in the day....it was painful to watch to loading process transition from Nordairs’ guys that had been loading 37’s with forklifts from day one..to the CP system of lifts and Dolly’s. I was amazed watching ND load 85Chevy Impala onto the main cargo deck of the 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just this past weekend off loaded, loaded it in 25 minutes. Many years ago I put many a Chev S trucks into these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
