Not the same aircraft, different call sign but still Buffalo Airways. They were supplying jet fuel to us (C-46 and DC4) while fighting fires in Uranium City, Saskatchewan Can.
The first pallets were easy but closer to the cockpit you were and more tricky it was to get them close to the cargo door. it's a lot of slope and hard to stop a 4x45gal drum pallet.

Good close up of the aircraft, especially the oil leaks. Don't listen to what I am saying, have got my C numbers mixed up.
