I am back in Christchurch again. This is my third medevac this season. None of the other has been as crazy as the first one. It has been good that there hasn't been any more, because it means that people has stayed healthy and nobody got seriously injured during the season. For me personally it has been pretty "boring" season. At this stage it doesn't really matter to me if I do more medevacs. It is a very long ride on a LC-130 to Christchurch from Antarctica, approx 7 hours to get here and 8 hours to get back. It is a very noisy and uncomfortable ride, I will never complain again when I fly on a regular airliner.
It looks like the C-17s are not going to make it down there before the end of the season due to the poor condition of the ice runway. It has been nice to have an extra day here in Christchurch and we spent it by just walking around and look at different sights and enjoying the warm weather, different foods and the humidity. I only have 2 1/2 weeks left before I am heading home. I am really looking forward to go home. 5 months is a long time to be away from my family.
