Exploring The Extraordinary - [Vol 1]
Presented to you by @anon17115501 and @tunamkol
Welcome to the first event of our Exploring the Extraordinary series! In this series me and @tunamkol will be featuring fly outs at extraordinary airports people nearly never fly to.
The South Pole Station Flyout!
This event will be taking at the Amundsen Scott Station, located literally next to the South Pole. The South Pole is the coldest place on earth, the temperature can go down to -73 degrees celsius!
The “airport” of Amundsen Scott Station is usually used for tours coming from different places, such as Ushuaia or Cape Town. These routes are listed below. However, normally these routes are operated by a IL76, which isn’t available in IF, therefore we will be using the BBJ as a substitute. This airport has a 12010 feet long snow runway.
We believe this is a first in IF.
