Airplane Recovery in Antarctica: Part 2
June 13th, 2010 | By Nora Sawyer | Filed in Gear, Projects, Recent Trips
As promised, here is the video footage of the airplane recovery operation in Queen Maude Land, Antarctica that Arctic Kingdom collaborated on with Katabatic Consulting and Kenn Borek Air. I love this video, because it really gives a sense of the scope of the operation, which involved rescuing, repairing and flying a downed plane from its location on a remote Antarctic plateau 3,300 meters above sea level.
Arctic Kingdom provided the camp infrastructure, facilitating Katabatic’s onsite repair and salvage operation and providing the necessary equipment for a successful outcome.
