Carco Air Service  Beech C35 Bonanza  N698D         (c/n D-2976)

                                 

                                    Carco Air Service was founded in 1948 by Clark Carr and flew a very specialized route.  Recognizing
                                    the need for scientists to get from Albuquerque Airport to the atomic research station at Los Alamos,
                                    Carr provided regularly scheduled service using Beech Bonanzas and Twin Bonanzas.  By 1964 he was
                                    providing seven round trips per day.   Seen above is a typical scene at Albuquerque in the early 1960s.
                                    (Note the Pioneer Martin in the background).    The bloke walking past the nearest Bonanza looks like
                                    a taxi driver...which, in fact, was about what he was.  Also note scientists in suitable scientist's garb!  I
                                    am not sure when Carco ceased operations.   Below, the "fleet" taxis out.
