The Lockheed LC-130 is a ski-equipped United States Air Force variant of the C-130 Hercules used in the Arctic and Antarctic. Ten are currently in service with the 109th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard.
The LC-130 started as a prototype model developed by modifying a C-130A with skis in 1956. After testing in 1957, 12 additional C-130A models were modified with skis and hydraulics under the designation of C-130D. In 1959 the first four factory equipped, ski-based Hercules were produced under the Navy designation of UV-1L. These C-130's are USAF C-130B models. Later in the program the designation was changed from UV-1L to C-130BL. This designation was again later changed to LC-130F when aircraft nomenclature was standardized for all services by the U. S. Defense Department in 1962. These four aircraft were bought by the Navy Department to support the Navy’s Antarctic expedition that was ongoing at the time. The Navy also bought one LC-130R model in 1968. The National Science Foundation bought the second set of aircraft as replacement aircraft. The Polar Program Division of the Foundation had assumed management of the Antarctic Program in the early 1970s. These aircraft were designated LC-130R and were delivered in two lots: the first lot of three in 1974 and the remaining two in 1976.

Williams Field or Willy Field (ICAO: NZWD) is a United States Antarctic Program airfield in Antarctica. Williams Field consists of two snow runways located on approximately 8 meters (25 ft) of compacted snow, lying on top of 80 meters (262 ft) of ice, floating over 550 meters (1,800 ft) of water. The airport, which is approximately seven miles from Ross Island, serves McMurdo Station and New Zealand’s Scott Base. Until the 2009-10 summer season, Williams was the major airfield for on-continent aircraft operations in Antarctica.
Williams Field is named in honor of Richard T. Williams, a United States Navy equipment operator who drowned when his D-8 tractor broke through the ice on January 6, 1956. Williams and other personnel were participants in the first Operation Deep Freeze, a U.S. military mission to build a permanent science research station at McMurdo Station in anticipation of the International Geophysical Year 1957–58.
In this video, Lt. Roger Shapiro gives me a brief tour of an LC-130 Hercules, Number 93-3300 or 33300 or 73-3300 or CN 382-4508, as it's parked at Williams Field outside of McMurdo Station, Antarctica. This Herc is specially adapted for polar duty, and in the video we go over a bunch of the special modifications, including the skis and JATO bottle mounts. Additionally, I had the opportunity to open the cockpit's emergency escape hatch and take a look out. Thanks very much to Lt. Col. Shapiro and the New York Air National Guard 109th Airlift Wing for the time and consideration.
This is an LC-130 doing a combat offload or "drifting" of three pallets at Pegasus Field, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. This is the method they use for unloading all pallets at some of the field camps because they don't have any equipment to download the aircraft. They used this technique here because it is a lot faster than using the forks to pick it off that back of the plane plus the cargo wasn't very fragile. To pick the pallets up off the ground we just put our forks under the edge, pick it up a little, place a block underneath, set it on the block, and then drive under. You can just pick the up without the block but if you mess up you can put a big gouge in the ramp. After the plane goes by you see Cargo Ray in the gator, then Dale in Wizard and Christopher in Blazzin Red Fish.
We've got Dan & Lando discussing the brand new release -- the LC-130 Hercules Official kit release date is Monday, February 27th, 2017.

Air Force maintainers work in Christchurch, New Zealand to ensure the LC-130 can support Operation Deep Freeze in Antarctica.
