April Flight

We just had our April flight come in. We had just under 60 people leave and another 15 came in. So our population is down to 133 now. Last month they sent a Boeing 757, but this time we got an Airbus A319 both flown by the New Zealand Airforce. Our June flight will be a C-17 flown by the US Airforce. It's strange to get regular(relatively) flights now. My first 2 winters they would leave us the end of February and then we wouldn't get another plane back until the end of August. It's nice to be able to order things from Amazon though. In fact, as I'm sitting here typing this I have a couple packages waiting for me up the hill, so I better go get my mail. Mail!! Wooohooo!!

I didn't get a chance to go out to the airfield when the plane came in but one of our linemen was out there. He posted some photos here for us all to see and he said I could share them with all of you. So enjoy.

Here she comes!

She's here!

New friends arrive.

No idea what that machine does, but apparently it needs 3 hoses to do it.

Most planes are pretty thirsty, good thing we have huge tanks of jet fuel around this place.

Wait for meeeeeee!!!!

Off they go to the land of freshies, regular days and nights, puppies, kids, cars, elevators, and all sorts of other civilized things.
