TANNOY: SSR - What is the range of you MV-22?
Would you please contact the bridge and let me know - and if you can carry an inflatable fuel bladder to extend that range? It probably won't be sufficient, but if so we could fly out of Invercargill and be back in next to no time. We can work on the fine details, but it is also probable that we can refuel in McMurdo by arrangement. Thanx, Tom.
On second thought, report to the bridge, I think I've got some of your favorite cold ones stashed in the chartroom fridge.
