- "The third
plane lost
during Deep
Freeze 71 was an
LC-130F, BUNO
148318 on
Febuary 15,
1971. The
Hercules was
taxiing on the
skiway at
Williams Field
for a flight to
Christchurch. It
taxied around
the Ground
Controlled
Approach
building in poor
visibility, and
the left main
ski went up over
a 5 1/2 foot
snow bank. The
right wing hit
the ground and
broke between
the two engines.
A fire, feed by
fuel and fanned
by high winds
destroyed the
aircraft (VXE-6,
1971)"
