C-54 N54577 Pot Haul, 1982 New Iberia LA

Found this old photo in my files of N54577 broke down with mechanical problems at KARA, New Iberia, LA in 1982. The crew told the rent a cop that the plane was filled with oilfield explosives and not to go near it. A day later it was empty except for the seeds and stems blues left from a massive load of the hippie lettuce that was offloaded at night. Not sure how the plane left New Iberia but I think it eventually ended up at Buffalo Airways. Tom, Lafayette, LA

Thanks for that photo, Tom - love those old Douglas transports. I hope you don't mind if I bring back the color a bit:
