Photo taken on Hardstand 46 looking across at Hardstand 48. A/C on HS 48 are 238191, LD-W, and Silver Dollar LD-R. Looks like Fletcher's Castoria II taxing and a C-47 on Hardstand 49. Looking closely at the photo you can see another a/c taxing and one that has just landed rolling down the runway. Photo courtesy of Eileen Potts Smith
