The picture was taken in Ketchikan, but the plane is based up in Barrow. They were headed down to Hillsborough for some medical kit upgrades. According to the crew it is 1 of 2 in the world to be set up for gravel.

Really cool. Heard a lot about gravel kits, but never knew a lear was set up as such. Lears aren't exactly STOL performers, I'd be curious how short of gravel strips they operate from...
