McMurdo NAS, Antarctica. A cocked/drooped nose ski on one of the
C-130's. A malfunction in the
ski and nose gear retraction system caused this nose ski to dangle out of its
normal horizontal plane. After
flying around to burn off its heavy fuel load, the aircraft landed safely at
the ski strip at McMurdo. Caption
