Grieving the recent death of his wife, USAF Colonel John Slade dives wholeheartedly into his work to help ease his mourning. With best friend, Major Robert Holden, both men are assigned replenishment flights to McMurray Station in Antarctica, flying an LC-130 transport plane. It is during heated interactions with the stations irrational director, Alexis Smith, that their lives suddenly take a downward spiral as an attempt is made on their lives. Surviving the trauma, John seeks to not only vindicate himself by bringing the perpetrator to justice but also end his grieving, hoping to find the ability to love again.
When the political battlefield spreads to Antarctica, can the team survive the deep freeze? Those who work there call Antarctica “The Ice.” A secret Russian cargo jet crashes into a crevasse near an Australian Station. The Aussies call in the top air-crash investigators on the planet. The best of them all, Miranda Chase, must face the Russians, Chinese, and use her own autistic abilities to keep her team alive. As the battle spreads across The Ice, are even her incredible skills enough? Or will they all be buried in the frozen wasteland?

Written by Lt. Col. Joseph P. Hathaway USAF (Ret.), "Skibirds: Adventures of the Raven Gang" is the fascinating history and story of the 109th Airlift Wing, a unit of the New York Air National Guard, stationed at Stratton Air National Guard Base, Schenectady, New York. The wing's mission is to provide airlift support to the National Science Foundation's Arctic Circle and South Pole research program. They fly LC-130H Hercules airlifters, equipped with wheel-ski landing gear, to their Arctic and Antarctica operations. The 109th Airlift Wing is the only unit in the world to fly these aircraft. Using numerous anecdotal stories, the book tells of dangerous missions carrying civilian scientists, survival experts, and their equipment to some of the most remote locations in the Arctic and Antarctica. Frequently, unable to see the snowy "skiway" and landing on ski-equipped LC-130s, they fly inside what Lt. Col. Hathaway describes as the "ping-pong ball." It is a term he uses to describe the inability to tell the ground from the clouds when landing on the snowfield.
If you think that flying in bad weather is scary, keep in mind the -ice pilots.- They fly in and out of some of the world's most dangerous places!
