Go, No-Go

Location:  Christchurch, NZ

Weather:  60F, Sunny

Well, I am still here in Christchurch awaiting my flight to Antarctica.  We were scheduled to go down yesterday.  After a two hour weather delay we boarded the large USAF C-17, got strapped in, engines fired, taxied to the runaway, almost off the deck, and then a maintenance issue. Flight cancelled.

No problem.  Thank you to the USAF for providing a safety first mentality.  

Yeah, it's tough, another day in sunny, warm Christchurch.  Checked out my second favorite thai place in town.

I'll be setting up a separate picture page so check for the link in the next post.

Here's to trying it again today.  Maybe hit McMurdo by midnight.
