Jon Johanson has proven himself at making long, adventurous trips across the world in his RV-4. But, now he's encountered an apparently unsurmountable problem... how to get cooperation from the US tax dollar supported, arrogant scientists operating research stations in Antarctica.
Seems to me, if the bonehead bureaucrat-scientists can disassemble and ship his plane at cost, they could sell him some fuel at cost... but then again, we wouldn't want to encourage the dirty masses to come to Antarctica in their "hydrocarbon spewing little planes" and spoil the splendor of the ice!
