The crew of the FAB 2473 releases a package of supplies to the researchers in the Brazilian Antarctic Station Comandante Ferraz, in Rey George Islands (Antartic). After releasing the package, the C130 starts a impressive climb in right curve to leave a high mountain in the heading. During the Antarctic winter (may to november), the plane is the only way to supply the station with food (eggs (!), meats, fruits, vegetables, etc.), research materials, drugs, clothes, magazines, books, letters and many other materials. Really a beautiful work of the Brazilian Air Force personnel. Congratulations!
