flights

We waited for delayed flights and finally saw our first flight land since August on 3 October; four days after the expected arrival. Eighty winter overs left that day, as well, putting me in the gross minority down here in McMurdo.

I was able to drive for the first flight of Mainbody as our shuttles personnel were coming in on that flight. Being out at the airfield when I flight comes down is fairly exciting still. While the vast numbers of new people are daunting, there are a few familiar faces who I am thrilled to see; and who will be difficult to leave behind!
