Welcome dear nuuumann,
Great photos.
You are welcome to contribute to old threads here.
We prefer to have all entries about a specific airplane in the same thread.
Sometimes moderators split-off a one-off thread, but they should still be easy to link from the main C-47 thread. For example, moderators will probably link this to other C-47 threads.
Remember that the South Pole is about 9,000 feet above sea level. Even with cold, dry air, that is still a high density altitude. Combine the density altitude with the massive amounts of fuel and it is little wonder that many transports us JATO or jet assist to take off from the South Pole.
