This is the trailer that used to pull the airplane out of the water and put it in the hangar. It serves in a humbler capacity now, but it is still serving. Ivanildo told me it takes 8 minutes to get to the river, and about 20 to load up. Quite a bit of the water gets all the way back to the trail.  It worked well since the city water truck was unavailable (we tried to get them to donate a couple of loads) and the newly made trails had a couple inches of powdery dust. The water helped pack the trails, making a faster racing surface.
