	Ed flight plans.
	Enzo and Mark return from lunch.
	The water delta. It got a flat the other day, so they replaced all six tires (you can still see the stickers on them). The next day it got another flat.
	AnDRILL in front of a sun dappled White Island.
	Ivan the Terra Bus arrives at Willy Field.
	Aircraft sit at Willy.
	Unloading a Herc.
	The Basler BT-67, a retrofitted DC-3.

	The Tracks lane on the Willy field road. It's also for chevron tired deltas.
	Another shot of the Basler, operated by Kenn Borek Air, Canada for the USAP.
	One of the Twin Otters, also operated by Kenn Borek Air. (Kenn Borek Air has gained fame in recent years for flying Otters down to Pole for medevacs in unpleasant conditions.)
	Another shot of the gooney bird. The Basler retrofit includes the addition of Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A turbo props, lengthening the fuselage by three feet and strengthening the airframe. Like all DC-3s, it's a taildragger (it has landing gear in the tail instead of the nose). However, the tail gear was damaged and is currently being repared. We hope to use the Basler for recovery, since the primary mirror can fit inside, which is not the case if we're forced to use the Otter.
	The Kenn Borek Flying Circus and Live Animal Act Pub (Free Admission).
	Willy Field. Note the cyclist at right in front of the Jamesway Tent. He just biked out from McMurdo along the snow road. Impressive.
	Spare LC-130 props.
	Erebus among the clouds.
(8925x1264, 5440.26 kb) Willy Field airfield. At right, in the distance is Ob Hill. Six of the seven LC-130s are on the ground here. The Terra Bus has just finished picking up PAX from the rightmost Herc. The Basler sits at centre. On the left are the support Buildings, and storage. At right in the background is LDB Camp.
	The start of the Willy Field road.
	The emergency escape door at Derelict Junction is padlocked.
	Chris and Marie wait for the Shuttle out to Willy.
	ANITA coming back inside, again.
