Default Anchorage blows!

Anybody else experience the wind today? I was down on the FedEx ramp fueling the Caravans, and let me tell you, it is one of those experiences where you see your life flash before your eyes. Then I went over to the ATR which looked like it was going to tip over. It had already blown out of the nosewheel chalks, so I decided to leave before things got out of hand. I returned later to find an armada of ground equipment holding it still.

Fun day all in all.

Oh, if any FDX or UPS guys/gals see a white and black fuel truck cruising around on Monday or Friday afternoons, be sure to wave!

When it blows there, it really blows! I lost my roof to a windstorm blowing down the Chugach once upon a time
