    If anyone has been regular skiing, you might know it's still pretty bumpy so maybe landing with skis is still bumpy but not as bumpy. But anyone thought about how they stop the plane considering the fact the ice makes it nearly impossible to use brakes?

      I have been to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station many times and was always amazed at how soft the landings were. The LC-130s also have not trouble stopping. Flying into McMurdo in a C17 without skis is also surprisingly soft but they have crews constantly grooming the airfields.

    On two occasions, Ken Borek Air has been engaged to extract medical evacuees as the US Coast Guard and the US Navy and Air Force declined to risk the mission. Ken Borek has specially prepared and equipped Twin Otter aircraft for extreme polar flying conditions. Those are the "twin Otter aircraft equipped with skis" shown at 2:30 and a great deal more than skis separate these Otters from the original version. Both times, two Twin Otters (one spare) flew all the way from Calgary, Canada to accomplish the rescues.

    • @johnpatz8395

    See also the '57 Chase / Stroukoff YC-134E. Upgraded C-123 with boundary layer control and blown flaps for STOL performance.
    The normal airplane fuselage shape is strengthened and sealed for water operations, and it rides on 2 stout flat "pantobase" skis which lift it out of the water and eliminate the boat shaped stepped hull.
    On the skis, it flew from pavement, unimproved smoothed ground, water, sand, swamp, tundra & prairie, ice/ snow.

    Great video! My uncle John Taylor was navigator on a cargo plane that served Antarctica, I believe in the mid to late Fifties. I forget the aircraft type, but he had a picture of it on a wall in his living room. Anyway, I'm commenting to point out that as presenter, you misspoke at the end of the video. You said that once you are at the geographic South Pole, everything goes south. The exact opposite is true. From the South Pole, everything goes north.
