Hi Listers,

I am trying to find the info I remember from around 2004 or so when Bohannon
(I think it was him) who had landed his RV in the way up north and was not
able to get fuel or was not allowed to take off. Sorry my memory from that
period is so bad, but trying to find the details of that incident. Any
search ideas would be appreciated

Sounds a lot like Jon Johansson's experience in the Antarctic (if my
memory serves me...).

It was actually at the Antarctic. It was to be a south pole crossing
but he encountered stronger than expected winds and was forced to
land at the US outpost there. The folks there were pretty unhappy to
see him and wouldn't sell him any gas. Luckily, some other pilot had
cached fuel here for his own attempt, and they came to an arrangement.

For a while, it looked like a lack of a few hundred dollars of gas to
go somewhere less remote was going to cost him thousands of dollars
to get himself and his airplane home.

Sam, that could be correct. My memory wasn't good during that time.
Antarctic does sound right.

Are you referring to Jon Johanson, and his unplanned stop in Antarctica?
If I remember correctly he had unexpected head winds on the way to
Argentina via the south pole and he had to turn back to Mcmurdo, and
they were going to fly him out, and ship his RV. He stayed with the
plane and another civilian pilot, who had a planned fuel stop there gave
him the required fuel.
Do a search on him and it should come up

Tim,

You are probably thinking about Jon Johanson's flight over the South Pole
and subsequent landing at McMurdo Sound because headwinds prevented him from
making it to South America as planned. The U.S. base at McMurdo had a policy
to refuse to sell gas to private flights to discourage visitors. Jon was
able to buy gas from another pilot who had planned an attempted flight over
the pole and had pre-positioned gas at McMurdo.

You are probably about right about the date. I had ordered a carbon fiber
plenum from Jon and was wondering where it was. My email was answered by
someone telling me he was in the air over Antartica. A friend's daughter was
working at McMurdo at the time and said that they were discouraged from even
talking to Jon.

Thanks Sam and Joseph. I was able to find it when I did my search on the
right person.

Tim,
You are not planning to fly over the pole, or are you??? What happened to your memory in that time? Are you sure it got better by now? (sorry, could not resist that one)

Well, I am not planning to fly there but we were talking about it the other day with a friend. I remembered there was a thread but couldn’t remember the details. Yes, I am better now, the brain tumor has been removed.

(sorry, could not resist that one)
That’s OK, I understand.
