Today the science team members still at Scott Base got up early and waited for the go/no-go announcement for the flight to the drill site. At around 7:30am, they got the good news that the flight was a go. The team helped get all of the gear into the vehicles for transport to Williams airfield, and then helped to load the gear onto the Basler plane. After fueling, the team enjoyed a very smooth 2+ hour flight to the site, where the co-chiefs were waiting to greet them!
