I had a free afternoon in May 2011 so I went out to Anchorage airport to relax and catch up on some travel planning and reading. I also had a chance to check the coming and going of a bunch of planes. What surprised me was the amount of freighter traffic that stops in Anchorage on the way to/from Asia. I remember as a kid it was a real rare treat to see a 747, here in Anchorage they seem to dominate the traffic - how times change!
