received a brand new fuel truck to handle Jet A, for turbine engines. The
old truck could back its platform beneath the wing of the Caravan, but the
new, larger capacity truck, is about a foot taller, so it must be backed up
to, but not beneath, the wing. The young lady guided the driver to position
