South Pole Rescue

Any new word on the South Pole rescue? I have all kinds of information, but nothing on the progress of the mission. Hope they make it. PJ

Have not heard anything yet. By the way, I merged your three with the one I already started on this topic.

First aircraft made it through safely on Tuesday, will resume return flight with patient, (weather permitting), after a 10 hour rest. Couldn't find any later news. PJ
