These planes were old when I was young! They're the 70s land cruiser of the air. I can only assume the motors are modern turbines and not the oil-spewing VW inspired things I remember.
Amazing that there are not modern craft that are more capable. Perhaps it's because now everything is measured by profitability and not excellence.
There's my cranky old man vent for the day, best wishes to the hardy souls and the quite heroic people going to their aid.
