An aircrew from McChord Air Force Base, Wash., airdrops critical engine parts from the back of their C-17 Globemaster III Jan. 4 to the crew of a stranded British fishing vessel, the Argos Georgia. The ship suffered serious engine failure from negotiating ice while heading south in the Ross Sea in the Antarctica, leaving it without propulsion and drifting with the ice. The aircraft and the aircrews and support personnel from the 62nd Airlift Wing and 446th AW at McChord AFB are currently deployed to Christchurch to support the 13th Air Force-led Joint Task Force-Support Forces Antarctica, Operation Deep Freeze.
