• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"Lidia" Recovered from Antarctica

That was awesome!
Years ago another aircraft was recovered from the ice in Antartica - a Lockheed C-130 that was left where it was after an accident and completely buried in the ice for years. It was dug out and had temporary repairs made to it and was flown all the way back to New Zealand where it was fully repaired and then flown back home to the USA. It was big news on our TVs at the time, it was like a phoenix rising from the ice.

There are many other aircraft lying on the ice in remote locations of Antartica - C-47s, C-117s and Lockheed Connies, all substantially complete aircraft with similiar damage, that could easily be repaired and flown out, like the Turbo DC-3 in the vid.
