Unconfirmed news reports say last evening USAF a C-141 "Hercules" (sic)
made a safe landing at Christchurch (NZ) after earlier radioing in a
mechanical failure.

Hi,

I flew out of CHC today and wondered what the 2 x C141s and 2 x C130s were
doing there. Presumed they may have been part of some Antarctic work.
Anyone know what they are doing in the area?

MK.
