Never made McMurdo.My main contract was with a British company.When I did do US flying it was out of Amundsen/Scott (south pole)or Siple Dome.

I was flying my favourite a/c of all time (until I get a 170)theDHC-6Twin Otter.For the antarctic the a/c was on straight skis.

Hello, Duncan! Welcome!
Perhaps you've run across another of our members down in the Antarctic...Jack Holt ? Jack has an A model with 180 Lyc and a constant speed. He spends time in AntArctica on geology/meteorology business with Univ. of Texas and lots of his work is onboard highly instrumented Twin Otters down there.
