Col. Thomas Kennett, from Headquarters Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., greets a Siberian Husky named "Nomad" at the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Saint Louis, Mo., Nov. 2. Colonel Kennett was part of the audience for a presentation of an Antarctic airway chart created by Col. Ronald Smith -- also from AMC. The chart shows “Airway 338” waypoints with each waypoint named after sled dog teams of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and the pony pack team of British explorer Capt. Robert Falcon Scott. The aeronautical chart is used in international flight navigation from New Zealand to Antarctica -- especially for Operation Deep Freeze.
