Ice Bound (2003)
misinformation in previous reviews
Many previous reviews lambaste this film for misrepresenting who and what flew in to rescue Dr. Nielsen. Having just completed the book that this movie was based on, written by Dr. Nielsen herself, I'm armed with the book, sitting right beside me. On page 350 of her book, she states that that two LC-130's (Hercules) were flown to Antarctica to perform the rescue mission. In any rescue mission there are always 2 planes used in case something happens to one. The LC-130 that made the actual rescue was piloted by Major McAllister of the New York Air National Guard. The planes were ski- equipped.
Two recent rescues were indeed performed with twin otters owned by Kenn Borek Air out of Calgary, AB, Canada, but they were NOT used in the evacuation of Dr. Nielsen in 1999.
