Flying over McMurdo Station

Scenery is Antarctica by Aerosoft

Above the research station.....the U.S.C.G. Healy
inbound

Flying by the stations wind generators

A view from the cockpit as the Healy docks

This guy looks way too serious.....I'm diggin' those cold weather boots though...

Landing on the Healy

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots! Do the wind turbines spin?

Tell me why that can't put a research station some place warm that makes sense? Like the middle of the Bahamas?
