- On 4 December 1971, the LC-130 aircraft Juliet Delta 321 was damaged during takeoff from
site "D59", located 125 miles south of the French station Dumont d'Urville and
about 850 miles from McMurdo Station.
- At an altitude of about 50 feet, two JATO bottles broke loose from their attachment
points on the left rear fuselage. One went up the tailpipe of the #2 engine; the other
struck the #2 propeller. The propeller went to pieces, some of which took out the #1
engine and propeller, with several large pieces entering the cargo compartment.
- Recovered after 17 years burried in the snow in Antarctica, at 11 pm (McMurdo local
time) on 10 January 1988, Juliet Delta 321 approached the ice-shelf runway and prepared to
land. On the ice below a small group of civilian and U. S. military personnel waited
expectantly. At 10:56 pm, the Juliet Delta 321--landed safely on the glacier ice of the
Ross Ice Shelf for the first time in 17 years.
-
- Current location / disposition: Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ.
