XD-03, Lockheed LC-130F 148321, Hercules, 3567,

03 was buried in snow & ice for years, at times the ONLY thing that was
visble was the tail.
==================

DEEP FREEZE '88 was a particularly challenging season.Another highlight
of the season was the recovery of an LC-130 (BUNO 148321) that had been
buried in ice and snow since its crash, in 1971 near Dumont D'Urville.
That aircraft, designated as "XD-03", has been fully restored
03 flew until retired with the rest of the Navy's LC-130
after the NYNG took over the task of artic operations.
