Last night I finally landed in Norberto Fernandez in southern Argentina. Norberto Fernandez was actually a diversion field I had to land in because it had ILS. The field I was targeting before (approx 100nm north) didnt, and plus it was night, I couldnt see anything!
So just doing the pre-flight walkaround before heading out
After running up, finishing my checks, it was finally to depart for the Antarctic. I couldn't find any METAR weather reports or pull up any charts on the destination, so I was going in blind. Only thing I could gather was that the field i am going to land at is a 4200' strip, on gravel, with no ILS system. So im going to be forced to do somewhat of a short and soft field landing, hoping the weather turns out good.
Just leaving South America now, lots of extensive broken clouds. Just as long as this don't happen at my destination im happy
Here cruising across the ocean, sun is starting to go down and theres this nice little glow in the water.
Land ho, reached the northern most end of Antarctica, looks like the weather aint too bad.
After cancelling any IFR on my initial approach, the aircraft is prepared for final.
Whew, made it! Either the buildings are supposed to be floating on water, or that theres been a flood here! Global warming?
Shot didnt turn out as good as I hoped, but the taxiway is just above the water, good thing!
Next trip I'm gonna travel farther down south and enjoy some more scenery! (and hopefully meet some more penguins)
Hope ya like!
