Annoyingly,due to the limited number of skiers, the Greenlandic summer season ends in late July (even though the weather is nice for a good while longer) since the skiers have to get from Kanger to CHC.

In my day, the prop flying was done by the Navy's VXE-6 out of Pt. Mugu, CA while the Air Force flew only standard C-141s (that could only land at McMurdo--Williams Field--of course). The Pango Pango stop was made by a C-141. I guess the C-17s now have more range--maybe they can fly from Hawaii to Christchurch nonstop but I don't know about that.
I assume the Navy handed the ski-equipped C-130s over to the Air Force Reserve people.
