The Days Inn (912-285-4700) will have rooms at the group rate of $38 + tx in the name of Red Star Pilots Assoc. There are other hotels nearby on Highway 1 so the van could make stops along the route. There is a Holiday, Hampton, Comfort Inn; the Super 8 is sold out.

He had to be aware of the possibility of stronger than expected headwinds. And, with that awareness, he most certainly considered McMurdo and Pole Stations as emergency alternates. Furthermore, he knew that if he attempted to make any advanced arrangements with the US Government to use those bases he would have been rebuffed because he knew they discourage adventureism. He took his changes and he got bit. His plane is going to get shipped to NZ, as well it should. As to the observation on this list that the USCG rescues yachts stuck in the ice, of course they do. Had Johnson crashed they would have searched for him and given him medical attention. There is a big difference between saving lives and supporting irresponsibility. I've been to Antarctica and I know the subject. Antarctica may as well be a part of another planet, not this one. I've flown across it in a C-130. I've walked on it, slept on it, and seen first hand the scientific work that is going on there. I've been caught in a white-out without proper gear due to my own carelessness and I've had associates who were killed there. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:58:34 AM PST US From: "A.

That happens often with Scotty. But you didn't hear that from me.

I do get over to the States a bit so next time I get some time, I'll look you up so you can tell me how good the 52 is whilst I drink your beer. I am happy to reciprocate if any of you guys want to come down here and fly a 'mans' plane and drink some real beer! Cheers Mate Egon.
