As we were getting getting to leave Smithers the next morning, bound for Stewart, this commercially-operated C-130 (termed a Lockheed L-100 Hercules when in civilian mode) was struggling to get into the air with an obviously extremely heavy load. It was probably C-FNWY, an L-100-30 operated by Northwest Territorial Airways.
