Australia -- two wa send friends

Do 2010.3.25
Actually, this XueLongChuan docked wa, on the one hand, is this voyage last freshwater and vegetables resupply, on the other hand, is returned from Australia S76 loan helicopter. More than 10 players from here to the boat, flying first to return, including S76 unit three workers - the pilot David (right 3), mechanic Max (second from left) and Ben (right 4).

David is 65 years old and in Australia in Antarctic expedition flight has 25 years, even he couldn't remember how many times has gone to the South Pole, he said it might be 24 times, but this time is the most special one, because he is sick of several Australia Antarctic survey of flight line between, and participate in China with Antarctic expedition, more than 100 Chinese elbow almost five months of time, for him is very novel.
In S76 fly XueLongChuan last night, the leader of the special banquet to see them off. On booze and David marvel at the construction of Chinese Antarctic survey of China rate, also Antarctic expedition team spirit of competition our heartfelt appreciation.
Actually, S76 unit is also very professional, and very professional. In the Antarctic flight without any navigation and helps the navigation equipment, due to the Antarctic magnetic compass the big difference, and often in failure condition. David with years of driving experience, depend entirely on the GPS in helps the navigation, in the Chinese Antarctic expedition accumulative total safety flew 97 hours.

Max and Ben is mechanic, and David to be the same, they are very easygoing, know how to do as the Romans do. Ben only 22 years old, he works for flight service company has been working for three years, the company, a bit like a vocational school, when he worked here four years, he was able to graduate, and in these four years, he not only learn the technology, and a certain income, he said Australia's many schools are like that, compared with domestic universities, actually I think such schools cultivate students coming out is more foothold.
