Things were busy when I stopped by the airport this morning.  A Dassault 
Falcon Freighter was being prepared for a trip after a few days of rest.  
The large loading hatch makes access to the interior quite easy.

However, loading is not just work for the back.  Loading instructions assure 
that the aircraft center-of-gravity remains within limits, and these require 
mental dexterity.

And there was also a people-mover preparing to leave, a Fairchild Dornier 
Metro turbo-prop, which found it needed an external battery cart to get 
things moving.

Yes, she is also the "designated driver".

Comments and critiques welcomed.
