C-47 -то непростой! Нос удлинен, в ем радар стоит. http://www.ferrymeadaero.org.nz/about-us/douglas-lc47h-17221 The LC-47H is a variant modified for cold-weather operations. Modifications included the attachment of skis to the undercarriage, provision for JATO (jet assisted take-off), and an extended nose cone to make room for a radar. 6 of these aircraft and 12 of the related C-117 aircraft were operated by US Navy Air Development Squadron VX-6 (nicknamed the 'puckered penguins') based at McMurdo Station in Antarctica between 1956 and 1969. One of them, 12418 'Que Sera Sera' made the first ever aircraft landing at the South Pole on 31 October 1956. This aircraft is preserved at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola Florida.
