Ice Airfield

Recommended Posts

I guess you can call this a day trip since I do make it about every other day down here in the Ice. One of my duties is maintaining the airfield lights at the fields, Phoenix and Williams.

I do get some interesting scenery here. The cliffs you see in this shot don't exist. They are a mirage and I forget the 'technical' name for them but it is a bit freaky when you see them for the first time.

I do get some wildlife that comes along and makes sure I'm doing my work correctly

Williams Field only handles ski equipped aircraft. The LC 130 is the largest aircraft with skis. Without it and the helicopters science down here would be a lot more difficult. 
 
I've probably bored you all enough now and should let you get back to the real world. LC-130.jpg
