Description

Any operation involving an aircraft is no easy feat, but flying at the bottom of the world brings its own set of unique challenges and triumphs, as our guest can attest to. Listen in to hear from Patrick Woodhead, a pilot and the CEO and founder of White Desert, a tourism company that charters multiple aircraft types between Cape Town, South Africa, and Antarctica, to discuss the unique operation of flying in what may be most hostile environment on Earth. From flying Airbus and Gulfstream aircraft to a constantly monitored ice runway, to DC-3s landing at the geographic South Pole, hear about the logistics and planning that go into pulling off this unique flight operation.
