Deep Freeze Winding Down

The 2012/2013 Antarctic season is quickly drawing to a close with the resident Boeing C17 Globemaster III 09-9209 now providing the backbone for movements between Christchurch and Pegasus Field and it departed southbound as ICE38 on 17 February.

A second C17 has since arrived this evening with 96-0005 arriving at Christchurch from Hickam.

As at mid afternoon 17 February the following Lockheed LC130 Hercules were present at Christchurch:
83-0490 - departed 18 February
83-0491 - departed 19 February
83-0493 (this aircraft will remain at Christchurch for 2013 on heavy maintenance)
92-1095
93-1096
76-3301 - departed 18 February

The C130's will progressively migrate north on their return to the US East Coast.
