it can be loaded on board the LC-130 that will
be conducting the fly-under.

After
the fly-under, Grant spent aiting at the Vostok
airfield for the plane to reload and fly back
to McMurdo. The plane keeps its engines running
because it is so cold, -40 degrees Farenheit!
Plus, everywhere you look it is perfectly flat.
