Air Cargo Express & Everst Air Fuel
Fairbanks - Alaska - Anchorage
                      By Jan Koppen              

​​When working for KLM Cargo, one is always surrounded by the modern screaming jets. Once a while, the need for some aviation nostalgia must be fulfilled. Nowadays, the choice is limited. Fortunately, Alaska is a land with still a good number of operational Big Props. In April 2000, I decided to visit this Greatland.
 
The pics are digital copies of paper photos, so quality low, but what does it matter? It goes about the experience! ​

Everts unique Curtiss Wright of 1929 is based at Fairbanks since 1976.
​

Everts Air Cargo is an American Part 121 airline based in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. It operates D.O.D, scheduled and charter airline cargo within Alaska, Canada, Mexico and continental US. Its Maintenance base is Fairbanks International Airport with its major cargo hub at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

Everts Air Cargo, established as Air Cargo Express, is the sister company of Everts Air Fuel, that specializes in fuel transport throughout the state of Alaska and into Canada.

Since Northern Air Cargo abandoned their regular service with the Douglas DC-6, Everts Air Cargo is the last airline in the USA to operate scheduled flights with a rather large fleet of 60-year-old piston-powered aircraft. The DC-6 is still considered to be a valuable aircraft for operations in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with excellent landing and takeoff performance on gravel runways. The downside is the difficulty to find Avgas and the maintenance labor cost. Everts Air Cargo estimates a ratio of 12 hours of maintenance for every single flying hour. Spare parts could also be a problem but Everts Air Cargo anticipates they will have enough in stock to keep the last DC-6 flying beyond 2020.

The Curtiss Wright is powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-985. The same engine of the DHC-2.

In the years following it was operated by Slick Airways, Conner Air Lines, Wien Alaska Airlines, Reindeer Air Service, Kenn Borek Air, Lambair, Ilford Riverton, Northland Air Manitoba, before being acquired by Everst Air Fuel in September 1990.

On August 01, 2019, Everts Air Cargo Flight 25, a Douglas C-118A Liftmaster, N451CE, met her untimely end when she was substantially damaged when it struck a berm and damaged the landing gear while inbound to land in Candle, Alaska. There were no injures to the three crew members onboard.

According to the captain, after overflying AK75 they entered the traffic pattern to land on runway 20. He stated that the approach was steeper than normal due to terrain; however, the sight picture indicated touchdown near the threshold of the 3,880 ft runway. A bump was felt near the threshold during the landing but was not extreme. The airplane's propellers were then put into reverse and the airplane veered to the right. The flight engineer applied asymmetric reverse, in an effort, to correct for the right turning tendency and the airplane tracked straight for about 2,000 ft. before it veered sharply to the right, exited the runway and spun 180. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage. An inspection of the threshold of runway 20 revealed several 4 ft tall piles of rocks and dirt.

The Pratt & Whitney R-2800 is a Big engine!

The propeller has lift on one side and drag at the other. At the tip "induced drag" is created, which means that lift and drag meet and balance out. This create tip vortices, which are accountable for most noise. When compared, rounded tips create less induced drag than square tips and thus less noise.

N59314 of Frontier Flying Service was delivered to the USAAF in January 1944 and transferred to RAF Montreal as KG354 the next month. It made the crossing to the UK in March where it served with 512 and 437 squadrons. On June 17th 1946 it was registered to the Canadian Government, which transferred it to the Royal Canadian Air Force later that year. In the mid 70's she was struck off strengt and stored at Saskatoon. It entered the Canadian Civil Aviation Register as C-GABE, but only to be sold to Basler Flight Services in May 1978 and reregistered as N59314. Frontier Flying Service bought it that very same year and it was registered to J.L. Dodson (Trustee) in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 1982 it was registered to J. Hajdukovich of Fairbanks and leased back to Frontier. Its career with Frontier was thus concluded by the end of 2000 and found a new start with Abbe Air Cargo at Palmer, Alaska.

Foto
Some seriously fascinating stuff there.

Blades with rectangular tips are more efficient because they have more blade area. This is why, the rectangular blade tips or rectangular blades are more noisy. Round or oval blade tips have less blade area and less air is affected by the blade. The effect of air passing through the blade, if more air passes, will produce more air effect and consequently more noise. If less air passes, there's less air effect and less noise is produced.

After six years of operations with Cathay Pacific she was sold to Braathens S.A.F.E. During the 70's she worked for Delta Air Transport of Antwerp, Belgium. After several years with DAT she was exported to Conair of Canada. The aircraft was fitted with a strengthened floor and freight doors. The cabin window were also blanked-off. With Conair she operated for 20 years as a fire bomber for Conair. In April 20004 she was sold to Air Cargo Express. The '6' was ferried to Norway in June 2020 in full Braathens S.A.F.E. colors. The aviaition museum of Sola became the new owner.

When her military career was over, her civilian life started as N888DG and she worked in Alaska for outfits like Pacific Alaska, Yakutat Seafoods, Northern Pacific Seafood Transport, Universal Airlines, before being part of the Air Cargo Express fleet in 1996.

Douglas dominated the market for four-engined transports, building at total of 300.

In the background are the smaller, more colorful cargo operators, such as; Majestic Air Cargo, run by Mr. and Mrs. Pond, on less than a shoestring budget. Tragically they both died in this DC-3, during a crash in January 2001. 
​

Foto
Originally this DC—3 has been manufactured in 1945 at the Oklahoma City plant as a C-47A-30-DK. When her military career was over, her civilian life started and during the years she passed through a succession of owners of which Southcentral Air was the last one.
​
DC-3 N19454, owned by Southcentral Air but reportedly operating on a flight for Majestic Air Cargo, departed Unalaska Island for a cargo flight to Anchorage on January 23, 2001. The plane was carrying 2,350 pounds of fresh cod milt, or cod sperm, from Trident Seafoods. Somewhere between 8 pm and 11 pm a fisherman spotted the wreckage of the plane at the 1,500 foot level on Table Top Mountain near Eider Point, AK. Weather was poor in the area with heavy snowfall.

Parked in a remote corner of Anchorage airport, I found this mauled C-123J of the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, with her registration N4390E erased.
