Just some facts for interest..


All the aviation fuel at McMurdo is turbine fuel for the C130s, C17s, Twin Otters, Bell 212s and AS350s down there. All the vehicles are diesel powered so it would only be the portable generator fuel from the Kiwis which would be available.

All flights to and from McMurdo are by either the US military (New York Air Guard etc.) and the occasional Kiwi C130.

There are no civilian flights to or from McMurdo to anywhere.
