Close Cropped Front Stbd side view of the fuselage of Ski-Equipped USAF 'Antarctic Hercules' Callsign 'Skier 93' at Christchurch Airport (NZCH) on 01Apr2013. Lockheed LC-130H 83-0493 Cn 382-5016 is operated by 139AS/109AW New York Air Guard based at Schenectady Airport New York. During the Southern Summer, the aircraft is based in Christchurch for US 'National Science Foundation' trips to Antarctica. This aircraft recently featured in a Television Documentary named ‘Mighty Planes’. The JATO assisted take-off in Antarctica was spectacular, surpassing the unusual landing by ‘Skier 96’ at Wanaka in April 2010. (Not an April Fools Day Joke!)
