Better Late than Never.

Our incoming passengers are officially late. They were going to try to send them in earlier than scheduled, but we had a nice little wind storm move through all this week. The Twin Otter pilots are leaving us shortly, but since the Basler is carrying passengers for the first time of the season, their visibility restrictions are much tighter. I think they need 2 miles visibilty to take off in McMurdo and 3 miles to land at Pole (for the first flight) before their requirements are reduced. It's frustrating for a lot of people especially since they fly all the time in a lot worse. Anyway, the official schedule was for them to come in yesterday, and now they will try again today. We shall see. Soon enough, the summer people will be here pushing their new agendas with there brown faces and elevated energy levels, and we will be cowering into the corner of the galley hoping that at least our flights out of here aren't delayed.
