I made some assumptions (please feel free to correct them); a) Foreign Nationals will transit to Pituffik on the P-3 because of restrictions with the C-130. b) each P-3 instrument has at least one representative assigned a seat. If not indicated, I picked a name. You can switch with a colleague if needed.

Transit on the C-130

There are two options for transiting on the C-130.

1.      Boarding the C-130 at WFF -- Recommended for those already at WFF for instrument work or locals who can arrange transport and lodging

2.      Boarding the C-130 at Burlington VT International Airport -- Due to limited accommodations at WFF, we arranged for the C-130 to stop in Burlington, VT, to pick up the rest of the team. Travel to Burlington by July 21, 2024, spend the night, and meet the C-130 at the Heritage Aviation FBO<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflyheritage.com%2Fservices%2Ffbo%2F&data=05%7C02%7Carcsix%40espo.nasa.gov%7Cc81be4b1066f4360880608dc994bc943%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638553797977991628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=t2Z5Wzh9wMAu1k1FrCDBsV%2Bw5O9ZUMSYNJcTOTzTNWg%3D&reserved=0> the next day.

The room block expires on July 1, 2024.

Regardless of where you board the C-130, your luggage must be at WFF by July 17, 2024, to be palletized.

When returning to the USA, the C-130 will also stop in Burlington, VT, to clear customs.
