The skies above Anchorage are quite busy. In fact, the city is home to the world’s third busiest air cargo hub: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

The airport is roughly equidistant from Tokyo and New York and claims to be within 9.5 hours of 90% of the industrialized world. The barrage of planes landing and taking off testify to the centrality of the hub. The following photos show some of the planes that made Anchorage a temporary home to load, unload or refuel.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
