Charleston Air Force Base: C-17s could take shortcut over the North Pole


In a copyrighted story published By SCHUYLER KROPF and the The (Charleston) Post and Courier, they are reporting that "pilots from the Charleston Air Force Base could soon begin flying over the North Pole to reach the Afghanistan war zone. And if the order comes, one flyer says it won't be that hard to do."

For my HF aero/milcom friends you should keep an ear out on the following MWARA Polar region (NAT-D) freqs for these Charleston AFB C-17 aircraft:


2971.0 4675.0 8891.0 11279.0 13291.0 17946.0 kHz (USB)


Good luck and good hunting de Jefe
