After reading HeavyDriver's post, it got me thinking of my box throwing days for FedEx in SLC.

In SLC the FedEx ramp is located just right of the departure end of 16L.
When Delta was still flying the L-1011's, and FedEx had the occasional DC-10 in, I loved watching them try and climb out in hot and high conditions. I am sure it was how HeavyDriver describes it, because it looked tight from where I was. Once, I was sure an L-1011 was going to scrape the ALS trees off the end.

Ahhh, good times.
