Mission Activated❗❗❗

For those of you who need translation; the Basler is a re-engineered DC-3 (or C-47)  that’s become the workhorse for deep field put-ins with plentiful cargo,  or a  group flying a long way from home, or both.  The BKBBUx designation can be partially deciphered as Ken Borek Basler “B”, with the “2” meaning we were first backup today.  SuperTIGER II is a long-duration balloon payload recovery mission; those tend to come down in very inconvenient places so I’m guessing they’re looking for a dropped payload. And DJ is short for “Derelict Junction”, the closest thing to a bus-stop you can find in McMurdo.  

DANIELA AND MINAKO ARE ACTIVATED

WITH THREE EXCLAMATION POINTS❗❗❗

woohoo from Erin….

Additional note from Ralph:  if the crew’s duty day is long enough we might get lucky and get a couple of flights in.  The DW round trip is about a half day.   Everybody send your woohoos and other positive vibes southward please!
