United States Military Visitors to Christchurch

Some fantastic shots arrived in our email last week detailing some of the visiting United States military aircraft that have graced the Deep Freeze apron at Christchurch International. The seasonal Antarctic activity has seen multiple flights with C17 Globemaster III's to the ice and exercise Southern Katipo '17 saw the C130H Hercules from Minnesota and an Alaskan based C17 Globemaster III visit on numerous occasions. 

Thanks to those contributing these awesome shots.
