A good landing.

The boat ramp is on Fairview riverfront down from the house.

Defence Force carries out rare winter Antarctic medical evacuation

"Apart from flying in a combat environment, night flying missions to Antarctica in the middle of winter present the most challenging and dangerous of conditions."
The Hercules crew flew into Phoenix Airfield using night vision goggles, first used by Kiwi pilots flying into Antarctica in July 2021 for another medical evacuation. To protect against the extreme cold, the plane's engines were kept running, known as "hot-fuelling".
"With a narrow gap of acceptable weather, the crew deployed early this morning," Scott said.
...
United States Ambassador to NZ Tom Udall described the "world-class" medical evacuation as "extraordinary flying".

"Our longstanding, bilateral cooperation in Antarctica and to and from the ice, is always deeply valued, but esepcailly meaningful today. Thank you for your service."

I sure hope so, that's what the last team said though, lets hope it isn't forced to crash land in the Australian outback or some remote place like that...

Both places are isolated and easily nuked in case of experimental failure.

Sounds rather drastic to me, might be better to - initially at least - send in a specialty team, perhaps you have connections and can get this team at short notice, you know, on standby.

Maybe even have a celebrity Deathmatch

 

Inside video of that crash.

She did a great job that almost cost her life because of that pickup driver. The steering gear and pitman arm were likely broken.

She didn't have both hands at the wheel, though ... but yeah, she handed it well

She did before they hit in a fraction of a second of seeing that idiot in the pickup cross into her lane (you can't steer out that trajectory with a semi even with four hands and four feet), would not have mattered once your steering is lost from the impact.
She didn't hit the pickup truck...he hit her.

Arrested and charged.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A pickup truck driver was charged for his role in the four-vehicle crash earlier this month that left a semi dangling off the side of the Second Street Bridge.

Court records show Trevor W. Branham, 33, of Jeffersonville, was arraigned Friday on four counts of wanton endangerment and one count of operating on a suspended license.

The crash on March 1 made headlines after the rig broke through the railing of the Second Street Bridge, resulting in a daring rescue of the semitruck driver by Louisville Fire & Rescue.


According to the arrest report, witnesses told police that Branham's Chevrolet C1500 truck was southbound on the bridge speeding and weaving in and out of traffic when it hit a stalled vehicle in the right lane. Police said Branham's vehicle then lost control and crossed into northbound lanes, hitting another car with two people inside before striking the semi tractor trailer. The semi hit a bridge support beam on the westside of the bridge before going through the iron fence railing.

The arrest report said Branham "drove the vehicle under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, placing himself and other motors at risk for serious physical injury or death."

 

"They called off the chase so no one would get....MOWED DOWN"

If it can't perform the FSTs, it needs to go to jail.
