Alert Weekly News

	Not a whole lot this week aside from some odd air traffic. Currently we've got
two Hercs stuck here. The first one is from the usual Wednesday arrival. It was
on it's way in from Thule when it was announced that the plane was being
diverted back to Thule, and then later announced that it was in fact coming to
Alert. Turns out that one of the windshields had broken on the plane. So that
Herc was grounded when it arrived until it can be repaired. A second Herc was
sent up on a bit of a repair mission, supposedly bringing with it a new
windshield and I imagine some sort of epoxy or bonding materials that would set
in the extreme cold due to our lack of hangar. THEN, when the second plane was
due to set out this weekend, they had gotten everone all worked up for departure
(including those waiting to go home since Wednesday) only to find that the
engines won't start. As a result plane number 3 is set to arrive on Tuesday and
take off same day. We'll see how that goes...
