Arctic Air - A Greenlandic Journey With The 109th
Airs Sunday, August 19 at 7:00 PM
Arctic Air: A Greenlandic Journey with the 109th captures the Wing members’ commitment and efforts in a frozen land of incredible beauty but where danger always lurks. Meet the skilled pilots and their crews who transport supplies, cargo and staff to and from Greenland in temperatures that threaten to freeze their planes’ fuel and hydraulic fluid. See the camps where American and international teams of scientists seek to unlock mysteries of the past buried deep within the polar ice cap to help provide answers to some of today’s most important questions about climate change and global warning. The environment is harsh and the specialized training for the pilots intense, but the Wing is dedicated to its unique and critical mission on behalf of our planet. This is an adventure not to be missed!
