Field deployment to Skinner Saddle was carried out with HNO and to Evans Piedmont and Victoria Lower Glacier with NSF 36J. Both deployment and pickup of cargo and passengers was very professional, efficient, and safe. The extensive regional and local experience of the pilots, in particular, Rob McPhail is invaluable. We are grateful for the exceptional support and assistance in the field by HNO.
