jayWe got a free C-130 flight! Thanks to LB's efforts, there is a USMC C-130 based in Texas that will be leaving within the hour for Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. There our guys will load 20,000 lbs of building materials, equipment and food, which will arrive at Resolute around 11pm CT tonight. And then the Herc will fly to Cambridge Bay for refueling before heading back home. Our cargo will be transferred to a series of charter DHC-6 Twin Otter flights back and forth to Haughton Crater, over the rest of this week.
The "opportune airlift" request will save the project the $45K we were about to spend on a DC-3 charter from Yellowknife. This means that Pascal will have a salary past the end of August, among other things...
