Heres the scar Ive put on our earth , the skiway. I got on a flight 2 hours west of here to a spot called Bunger Hills. Its a deep field Australian base. We cached some fuel out there and returned some old stock of Aviation fuel.
Its a bizzare sensation , flying along with nothing but ice and snow , then over the horizon some rocks appear , which is an area of some 4o miles square of mountians and frozen lakes.

AS you can see the weather forcaster was spot on , as the sun popped out under the clouds , the definition improved and the planes popped out of the sky. They landed at a bit after 10 pm. A long day , as the call went out at 2pm that they were going to fly . We start work at about 8am , so a sleep in was the order of the next day.
