There are 8 large twin engined aircraft on the south side of the carson city airport (visable in the lastest google earth)..anyone have any idea of what they are?.....

They look like HU-16's to me. Though it's just a guess.

EDIT- Appears they are indeed HU-16's.. -> http://www.skippyscage.com/aviation/nv/carson0702/index.php

d0mokun, good call! :)
That was a tough ID - took me a while to start thinking Grumman, then seaplane. Not expecting to see that type at an airport in Nevada. And to think the Navy used to pay me for photo interpretation! :icon_lol:
