Now that I am retired from my decades-long career as my Ad Agency's Creative Director, graphic designer, etc., I do not get the opportunity to do much in this space.

So I'm having a ball helping a friend prepare his presentation he will give 3/2 to my #EAA chapter on the three tours he spent as an Air Traffic Controller in #Antarctica.

Harsh conditions, and no alternate if an #airplane got all the way into his airspace low on fuel or facing +WX. Land on the ice runway or die trying.

@sbeebe Mostly from Christchurch, NZ but also Point Arenas, Argentina and South Africa. They did tours that lasted about six months.

@Av8rdan thank you. Great picture of deboarding, it shows both the Herculean engineering and mundane trudge of travel.
