And just had a LC130 come over roof ... my Favourite Hercules , this time off the year our North West winds here in Christchurch really create a hell of a show when returning from the Ice . Cool Screens , One their with the infamous Mt Erebus , the sad thing with the tragedy is the McMurdo base had the DC-10 , starting to put two and two together but had no way to warn and contact but then also got complacent thinking the airline new what it was doing , the rest is history .

All the goodies are starting to show. None of it overly inexpensive so best to wait awhile to see the final selections.

A bit more stuff:



Flying from a smal remote camp to McMurdo and a view of Rothera Base



























Scott und McMurdo Helo-Pads.

Be interesting flying over the large regions off ice , everything mostly all white .

One thing is amazing but sometimes I am shocked about. After long flights over the endless "white" you have not the feeling for altitude. After a longer flight VFR and not pracise enough flying the idea about flying to high or flying to low is a bit gone. Here it is one of the first things... Check your altimeter... always! What you "see" with your eyes may not be true... Flying those eggbeater in his land is far more work. It is not only the "control" it is the feeling for altitude.

One, pilot is flying , the other is looking and with a third checking both again , another set of eyes , this is from the writings of a New York ANG pre there replacing the US Navy and follow they same procedure in their C130s .

I have had the same problem flying to there from NZ. A bit strange.

Just downloaded, and I totally agree with the size- bloody massive file!! Either way, nice shots Hasegawa, and Connor, I tell you what, try it in a C-124-not pleasant after 5 hours......
