Operation Deep Freeze 2014/2015 season concludes

It appears the United States Operation Deep Freeze 2014/2015 season has concluded with the departure from Christchurch 07 March of Boeing C17 Globemaster III 09-9210 for Hickam. The heavylifter arrived at Christchurch from Hickam 09 February and flew to Pegasus 11, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25 and 27 February. An aborted attempt was flown 02 March however ICE mission number 35 was completed successfully on the 5th. 

Australia's Airbus A319CJ VH-VHD operated by Skytraders flew from Hobart to Wilkins and back on 24 February, conceivably its last trip south for the season.
