  1. Check out their very diverse fleet. Everts Air Cargo has everything from a Cessna 180 to Curtis-Wring C46s to DC-6s and these Mad Dogs as well as turboprops. They also own a 727 which is used for ZERO-G Corporation.

  2. Everts Air provides a decent amount of good paying aviation jobs.

  3. Must have been a local dust devil. College near the airport nickname is "The Dust Devils". Or poor technique. Otherwise METARS look benign:
