Tale of two Herc's

 

South Pole station did not have ground equipment for the Herc's that supplied it. The planes would normally keep their engines running while we off-loaded and re-loaded them. Sometimes an aircraft would "get stuck" at Pole until another plane could come out from McMurdo. In this picture, the plane on the right is jump starting the one on the left.
