The good ol' kiwi c-130 airforce plane broke their number one engine yesterday, so 3 of us keen firefighters slept out at station two last night to man the runway/plane. What a blast! Actually i witnessed the engine blow, as i was filming there take off, fortunately i was when they were reving up full power before takeoff.
So our fate had fallen and LT Brag, heiff and I were there for the night. Anytime there is a plane on the apron there must be a crew out on the runway. The camera came out, and i shot some nice pictures around midnight - the ice runway looks back on McMurdo.
Tonight is American night at Scott Base, actually I was just this second talking to Harley (who's the kiwi barman) he's here at mctown to get supplies. I told him t gear up!
