One of the slightly odder Antarctic days yesterday with 3 aircraft arriving up at the Rothera skiway simultaneously.

Our friends from the Chilean Air Force stopping in for fuel on their way back to Marsh and a quick crew and cargo change on BB.

Barbara died relatively young at the age of 57 back in 2011.  She was also quite an accomplished yachtmaster having won several races.

Jo has long since left the RAF and now works at PwC.

Lockheed-Martin just posted this photo:

This is not a render.

This is the X-59, a single-seat X-plane aiming to reduce the sound of the sonic boom to a mere thump. It opens the possibility for commercial supersonic flights over land, which has been prohibited since 1973. Be on the lookout for first flight!

Crazy awesome looking aircraft!  I hope the research is successful. Some people will still complain however.
Looks like F-16 main gear, maybe nose gear too. Or is it from an F-5?

F-16 for landing gear.  Cockpit, ejection seat and canopy come from a Northrop T-38.  Engine is a GE F414.
