When they needed to medievac a sick scientist from Antartica, the US tried to do it with winterized Hercules and couldn't. What did they complete the mission with? The good old Twin Otter. with Jet B of course.....

LOL … excellent! Its a long noisy flight from Resolute to Toronto on a Hercules. Too bad Canada didnt continue supporting the development of the STOL industry … thats the key to Arctic Sovereignty … dependable air transportation
