A C-17 Globemaster III aircrew conducts periodic weather checks Dec. 25, 2010, during a flight from Christchurch, New Zealand, to McMurdo Air Station, Antarctica. The aircraft is assigned to the Air Force Reserve Command’s 728th Airlift Squadron at McChord Air Force Base, Wash. The flight was turned around as bad weather made it too difficult to land in Antarctica. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Lee Hoover)
