Hope Fawn figured that one out.<BR/><BR/>And that smart Jeep is quite a common vehicle around remote airports. You just need to stick around watching some more, and the purpose will soon reveal itself. It is used to pull the winch cable to the far end of the runway. The winch cable is then hooked to the belly of a waiting Herc and the cable is reeled in in order to launch the Herc into the air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596698.post-59379157841470561322009-02-23T10:16:00.000-08:002009-02-23T10:16:00.000-08:00When you make it to Whitehorse, let me know and I ...When you make it to Whitehorse, let me know and I will (and/or find an expert) who can point out some of area's military history!<BR/><BR/>Jennybell, you know that scene from <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105793/" REL="nofollow">Wayne's World</A> where Wayne and Garth are sitting beneath the planes as they land?
