C-17 in Antartica

Is that a typo or is there really a 20 year old Major?

It is saying that he has been a pilot for 20 years, not that he is 20 years old.

Except Iqualuit is actually concrete!

Ahhhh!!!! lol  See, I have so much to learn...lol 

I do know that when we landed there were 3 container ships in the harbour - something else I rarely get to see!

Thanks, I guess that's why I didn't take English in post-secondary....  >

Just a shameless plug here...

My feature article w/ photos about Op Boxtop done C-17 style got picked up by Canadian Aviator Magazine in their March/April issue.  You can find it at most Chapters locations.

It is not available online.

Cheers!

Thank you sir, appreciate your comment. 

Send a copy to Russia. Forget about the fancy bombers and submarines, being able to safely land huge amounts of CSups and troops in massive cargo aircraft is what arctic sovereignty is all about!

Now that the piece is in print, I'm taking the opportunity to chronicle my stay at CFS Alert and Op Boxtop through my blog in segments throughout the month of March.

The ownership has approved me posting the link below to my blog so that everyone can read about what it's like up there and what the whole Boxtop experience was like.

So here's the first part of my journey, and I'll make sure that all subsequent posts related to my stay will be contained in this thread.
