AVIATION PING!.................
Good job guys.
More winning...
Happened a few years back...someone got appendicitis....IIRC
I think this is only the 3rd time they have attempted something like this in all the history of the base.
This is the dead of winter there now and it is brutal.
Ambiguous headline and story. Did they evacuate three members or everyone?
Kudos to Kiwi’s. Also to the boys at Marietta Ga. for building a hell of a plane.
Just think: Antarctica is really friendly compared to Mars or the Moon.
Is this the base in the news recently where one member is violently crazy and had hurt people and they wanted him GONE asap?
I thought there were palm trees and alligators down there because of globull warming.
January 30, 2015 Albuquerque, New Mexico - On January 2, 2015, I received the email below from a retired U. S. Navy Petty Officer First Class Flight Engineer, who asked me to only call him “Brian.” His high strangeness experiences flying cargo and rescue in Antarctica were in the 1983 to 1997 time period and included several observations of aerial silver discs darting around over the Transantarctic Mountains. He and his crew also saw a big hole in the ice only about five to ten miles from the geographic South Pole (pink circle on map) that was supposed to be a No Fly Zone. But during an emergency medevac situation, they entered the No Fly Zone and saw what they were not supposed to see: an alleged entrance to a human and E. T. science research base created under the ice. Then at a camp near Marie Byrd Land, some dozen scientists disappeared for two weeks and when they re-appeared, Brian's flight crew got the assignment to pick them up. Brian says they would not talk and “their faces looked scared.”
This an Exerpt so use the Link above please.
I recall many years ago a Russian doctor marooned by the winter at a Russian Antarctic base performed his own appendectomy using local anesthetic and a mirror.
