Picture of the Day: Deep Freeze
By John
A maintainer looks as National Science Foundation Members get off a C-17 Globemaster III during the Operation Deep Freeze winter fly-in around the Pegasus Runway Aug. 20 in Antarctica. A C-17 and 31 Airmen from McChord Air Force Base, Wash., began the annual winter fly-in augmentation of scientists, support personnel, food and equipment for the U.S. Antarctic Program at McMurdo Station. WinFly is the opening of the first flights to McMurdo Station, which closed for the austral winter in February. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Shane A. Cuomo)

Dear John, Charlie, Lightning, Lt. Col.P., Bull Nav, Slab: This is meant with all due respect to your current/former ranks in the Military, but while I am glad that the Air Force and all the scientists made it safely to Antarctica may I please say that one Northerner is sooooooo glad the snow is somewhere else!
A possible caption:
Red jacket on left: "Hey! We gotta de-ice the wings!"
Red jacket in front: "Who cares? I gotta de-ice my pedometer!"
Please excuse me, but it was too hard to resist.
