Pegasus Airport

Here is the Pegasus Airport at 2 am in Antarctica.  It was a pretty site.  Those are the C-130 planes.

- Again I did not reduce the size of the pictures.  Click on them to seem them in full resolution.
This is the passenger terminal.  So really I did not have to stand outside for 2 hours but the place smelled like 100% diesel fuel.
This was our C-17 plane flying in from NZ.  We were like 100 yards from the runway.  It was cool to see it fly by us and land.

This is all the cargo they had to load before we took off, it included our bags we had given them 3 days before.
This is the clothing the people from New Zealand wear.
There were 104 seats on the plane.  Here are the 103 (I was taking the picture) people waiting to board.
 Getting settled in on the flight.
This the best way to sleep on the plane.  You are basically sitting straight up and it is hard to keep our heads up when sleeping.  For a part of the flight I did move to the floor to sleep.  There are no real rules on the plane.
