I'm working at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and will be leaving here February 12th to return to Christchurch, New Zealand. Is there anyone on the list that lives on the south island of New Zealand?  If so, I'd like to hear from you to see about getting together.  I've already made contact with John Anderson on the north island. I've found another Kitfoxer here, so at least I've had another person to talk to about my passion.  There are quite a few pilots here, not to mention the ones that fly the HC-130s, twin otters, and Basler turbo DC-3 "skier" aircraft.  They all land on the ice strips here, and the C-17s land on a permanent snow runway this time of year--quite interesting.  And then there are the helos--well, you know where they land.  Soon it'll be time to get back to Colorado and try my luck at flying my Model IV Speedster again after being gone for five months.

Stan,



Wow.  Talk about an adventure.  I seem to think there is one builder on the 

South Island.  I have a good friend there, but he is into boats, however.  I 

sailed with him on a trans Pacific yacht race.  We visited him a couple of 

years ago and you are definitely in for a treat.  He is in Lyttleton - just 

South of Christchurch.  I took a hundred or more pictures while there and 

every one was a keeper and are all used on the screensaver on my Mac. 

Gorgeous is an understatement and the folks there are supurb.

Hey, Lowell, great to hear from you! I'm having a good time, but sure am looking forward to getting back to New Zealand and get warmed up.  It hasn't been bad, but winter is just around the corner. I want to get home for the Desert Fox Squadron fly-in--have you heard if it is still planned for March 10th.  I'm planning on being there if I get home soon enough.

 

 Later, Stan
