Transport to Antarctica was by C141 at the beginning of November. This happened on schedule, and no equipment was lost. The placing of the reconnaisance on November 4, and its subsequent postponement through to tr 8th, displaced the time available for the usual shakedown trip and survive training at Scott.

The recconaisance flight put one fuel pallet at Mt Toney and three at Mt Murphy, all as requested. Some other items went with the airdrop, and everything at Murphy was recovered intact. The Toney dump was not retrieve due to weather, but was observed to be in place.

The put-in flight was on schedule on 10 November at Mt Murphy.

The lift-out flight was on 2 January 1991, 12 days after the planned date of 20 December 1990. Mt Murphy, and Marie Byrd Land in general, have only narrow 'windows' of flyable conditions. Several of these were missed between 20 December and 2 January.
