When does jet fuel need to be heated and if heated fuel is uploaded into the belly tanks, does it retain much of its heat cause its below the heated cabin floor?
Does the wing fuel in C130 really retain useful heat exposed to those temps and insulated with a wing skin?
Also wondering if there's an approach aid into the strip @ the South
Pole or just WAAS GPS. Navigating that far south must be tricky? Is it as simple as plugging in a waypoint?
Does anyone know what other unique prep both aircraft get prior to departure?
Do they spend their summers in Antarctica?
Bunch of questions but Im fascinated..................thanks
