The crew from Aircraft 553 assigned to the 152nd Airlift Wing, Nevada Air National Guard pose Dec. 18, 2024, on the continent of Antarctica after their first ever mission from Christchurch, New Zealand to McMurdo Station, Antarctica to support the annual U.S. military mission in Antarctica. They flew augmented max duty day missions logging over 30 hours in three days. This operation challenges the U.S. military with Antarctica’s extreme and unpredictable environment—the coldest, windiest, and most inhospitable continent on Earth. (Courtesy photo by Maj.
