Josh Jensen spent an austral summer keeping LC-130 Ski Hercules operational out of McMurdo. I spoke to him about the challenges that throws up and found out the days of boiling a pot of oil over the stove and pouring it into the sump ended with the last big roundy engines to depart the continent in the 1970s.
Cheers to Josh for putting aside time to discuss the confluence of my two of my favourite things: Antarctica and aviation.
