Maybe checking the oil. I love how the oil capacity is 12 gallons. Oh, and the second picture is of a Fairchild Pilgrim.

Checking/filling oil. Can be done in-flight if need be and enough crew.

inflight seems like it would be a bit cold, hate to be the guy doing that.
sweet pics, by the way.
Great to be the guy doing that when the aircraft has a massive oil leak and you're just baaaaaaaaaarely out of range of a diversionary airport!

I'm thinking I'd still rather be the guy flying and telling one of the others, "hey, hang out that window and add a few gallons of oil. I know we're in Alaska in January, but we need you to do that."

Who needs an airport when you have skis, and its winter? Seriously doubt most of those guys ever even landed on pavement anyhow.
Cool Pics by the way.
