STRATTON AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, N.Y. - Col. Michael Steindl, 109th Operations Group commander, speaks to local reporters about the unique aspects of the polar missions conducted by the ski-equipped LC-130 aircraft. This year with the ice runway in poor condition, the 109th and seven of its 10 LC-130s are taking on the usual mission of larger jet aircraft, extending several weeks and bringing 1,100 National Science Foundation employees and scientists to New Zealand from McMurdo station to end the summer season of Operation Deep Freeze.
