Looks like cam 5 ice strip fuel drop. I spent 8 months there in 86 and 87 recognized the mechanic and equipment operator walter ignatenko and martin egan. I think one of the bradley pilots had said that the 748 had the wrong or no primer before painting. We used to call it the space shuttle re entry pealing. I spent about 9 years on the dewline and for a young guy it was a cool place to work if you could handle the isolation. Good video

Right on, this footage brings back some amazing memories of a few summers on the DEWline, wish there was a way to relive them 30 years after the fact. When Canada was still a very proud country and globalism was still a bad dream.
