1st Flight to the South Pole

[will]

Bringing it to you as it happens…. Live From McMurdo Station!!

Today was looking good for the 1st. flight of the season to the South Pole,
like i said, looked good is the key word..

20 minutes after it took off the tower called us, that they were returning
due to malfunction with the landing gear..

The aircraft, a Lockheed Martin LC-130 Ski Equipped plane landed safely at
the Ice Runway… where i am spending my 24 hours…

Incidentally, we are in the middle of a severe storm, we will see how long i
get stuck here, oh well i have my survival “Gushers” and Breakfast Bars,
thanks Becca!!

Keep your fingers crossed… Mine are!!
