Today’s the day. Our ice runway is no longer. The weather is getting warmer and the ice is thining. The new runway is called Willy’s field and is located on the permanent ice shelf, around 10 km south east from Scott base.
The buildings are on skis and require a large cat to move them. As you can imagine, it’s a slow process.
5 of us our stationed out at willy’s today. We headed to work at 6am then took the half hour drive out there. The c-130’s were in the transition and required the fire coverage. After the last plane touched down it became a matter of waiting for the buildings to arrive. The sun was out, so out came the football. We turned the tunes up in the vehicle, and enjoyed a balmy summers day amongst friends.
