McChord C-17 crew flies medevac mission out of Antarctica
A patient is helped onto a C-17 Globemaster III Aug. 28 at Pegasus White Ice Runway, Antarctica. After completing the Operation Deep Freeze winter fly-in, a C-17 crew turned around 24 hours later and flew a medical evacuation for a patient who required more definitive medical treatment than Antarctica could handle. Also on board was a medical team from the 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron from McChord Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Shane A. Cuomo)
