Luke’s team aboard the IL76 and ready to fly (Luke Reilly)
Down on the Ice, one team is heading in and one team is heading out. Austin Shannon’s team will be back home day after tomorrow and Luke Reilly and crew will start working their way up Vinson. Flight was scheduled for today so it’s right on time. That’s no small accomplishment given the narrow flight perimeters with a 1900 mile flight to Antarctica. One adventure ends and another begins.
