The aircraft;DC-3 Basler) takes off from Concordia's snow-covered runway. Take-off of a Basler at Concordia. The runway is groomed very evenly to minimise the micro-relief on its surface and make it easier for the aircraft to take off. The aircraft are equipped with landing gear allowing them to land alternatively on a ?hard? runway or on snow: retractable skis controlled from the cockpit are fitted to the two front landing gears.
