I thought that Antartica was a protected area. Am I correct?
So why y to land a JetLiner there and send tourist cruiser ships?Its insane.

A.319 being used as a spy plane against the Japanese whalers, not sure if it is the same plane?:confused:

The first commercial jet to land at McMurdo was Modern Air Transport Convair 990 N5615 “Polar Byrd 1” on 22 November 1968, carrying 60 American tourists on a round the world tour.
And here it is in real life, now of course scrapped.

They should torpedo the japanese whaling ships. For scientific purposes of course, say 40 a year?
Sounds good to me and any other whaling ships test a new torpedo :diablo:

So what other jets have landed in Antartica? C-17 presumably anything bigger from the U.S.? Maybe some Russian activity.:confused:
There used to be a regular USAF Starlifter service before the Globemaster started

I’ll believe you – they all look the same to me, especially if they don’t have Tupolev or Yak or Illyushin on them
