Low Flying Cargo Plane ?

Isn't that the same type plane that flys to Antarctica from Chile or Argentina and lands on the snow to service south pole science projects?

Did you just take this photo yesterday while it was flying over Winnipesaukee? That looks similar to the plane I saw flying over the sporty little WV 9-hole golf course, positioned in the flat valley between 4500' Mt Sandwich and Mt Osceola.

YES: Except when it flys to Antarctica, it lands on Skis.

NB

PS: They are flown by "Cowboys" to Antarctica as well. Just sayin.

Flown by the NY ANG. Hopped one to Kentucky from the Cape. It was on it's way to the Caribean. Quite a few comments about wrong plane for the destination.

I'd say if he was over 150 feet away he was legal :>)
