Greenland is not very green

Greetings All,

After delays caused by Ash and leaking props, we finally made it into Kangerlussuaq. What a day it has been. We had bag drag at 5 am this morning in Schenectady and then onto the ANG base. The flight didn't make it off the ground until 8:45 am eastern. We had some problems with the plane that caused us to get off the plane so they could work on it. After a brief service call, we were allowed back on the plane and we took off for Goose Bay Newfoundland. We arrived right before 12 pm eastern, had the famous Ice Cream from the passenger lounge and headed back out to the plane. Unfortunately one of the other C-130's in our group had some problems. They were having prop problems. It was looking like for a while that we were going to unload the cargo from our plane and setup enough web seats for the passengers from the other C-130. As it turned out, they decided to continue on to Kangerlussuaq on three engines. All told, we were delayed over an hour there. When we finally made it into Kangerlussuaq it was almost 8 pm Greenland Local Time (for those of you keeping track that is Mountain Time +4 hours). Ryan and I made our contacts with the folks out at the station we will be working at for the next couple of weeks and grabbed our gear and headed out to the station. This should be fun.
