OIB attempted depart Fairbanks on the South Basin Transect for our return to Thule Greenland today, but the mission was cancelled due to an aircraft maintenance issue encountered during pre-flight preparations.
Some nice Northern Lights in the sky this morning as we left the hotel, and dawn is breaking as we return to the hotel.
