The massive wings of the PBY-5 are apparent in this shot. Ilford-Riverton Airways utilized their tank capacity to haul heating oil up north. During summer, tourist anglers became the cargo, hence the aircraft name on the nose. This photo is copyright © Tim Martin, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
