I had arrived at Cold Bay in the middle of May,1970. In two weeks, a group planned to fly to Morzhovoi Bay to spend Memorial Day weekend. I was asked if I wanted to go, and I jumped at the chance. This is a photo of the "Blue Goose" being loaded just before we left. The landing gear of the amphibious "Blue Goose", as it was called, retracted for landing and taking off on water. The aircraft's hangar was constructed completely of wood, despite the fact that all wood had to be shipped in from elsewhere (There were no trees out there). The wooden beams in the hangar were remarkably huge.
