OSR Install: Thule, Greenland

One of the "perks" of this assignment is getting to visit the worldwide AFSCN tracking stations.  The only one I really wanted to visit was Thule Tracking Station (TTS), known as "POGO".   TTS is located at Thule AFB, Thule, Greenland.

 

 

This place is NORTH!

 

790 Miles NORTH of the Arctic Circle.

 

About 300 miles more and you are at the NORTH pole.

 

We flew NORTH from Baltimore and the flight took 6 hours!

 

This is the NORTH most deep water port in the world. 

Here I am, enjoying the Thule scenery.

 

But nothing is ever easy…

We all had separate flights to BWI.  Upon reaching the Air Mobility Command counter at Baltimore BWI airport I found Lori and ran into Lt O'Connell and Lt Cheng, we also found our ATI flight to Thule had been delayed 24 hours.  No explanation.  So…

off
 to the Holiday Inn to plan our…

 Layover day tour of D.C.!
