March 2010

The company says one of their research outposts up north has started misbehaving and they are sending a repair team to fix it. Beats me why they won't wait until the summer months. This thing is unmanned during the winter, after all. But the company pays well, so people don't ask too many questions. The repair team will need some spare parts to fix the transmitter at the outpost as well as some extra provisions - and I'm the lucky guy flying those things into their base camp ahead of time.

They'll be departing from base and journey about 30 or so kilometers to the north-east to reach the outpost - on snow mobiles. I believe the outpost is somewhere just south of the border to the national park. I just hope they know what they're doing. Weather in the winter months can change quickly here. And the ice storms can shred you to pieces. Travel during winter months is usually... not advised.

Which brings me to my own preparations. Nobody in their right mind would fly VFR in these conditions. But this time of year, this is as good as it gets. The company also saw it fit to furnish me with a relic of an airplane. It does not even have GPS. But around here, we make do with what we have. It will be enough. Base camp has an NDB, and if I gain some altitude I should be able to pick it up - I'm just barely out of its effective range, so my ADF should pick it up shortly after take-off. If I get lost in the clouds or have to avoid the mountains, I can always punch through north and follow the coast west to reach base. I will be fine. I'm not so sure about the repair team, though...

Well, it looks like this is not for me, as for me it’s a completely ordinary flight video. How does this relate to the team?

Little bump for solving, given how thick I can be sometimes I'll take this as a win!

As usual, your puzzles are very interesting, but too much for me. I think I've only solved one! Still, bump.

I think I've gathered a lot of information, but I'm not sure if it's what I need. I will try further, it seems interesting.

Once I figured it out, it seemed so obvious... Thanks for the puzzle, and the giveaways!

Hope you post an solution later of this one.

Can any one tell the solution as the giveaway has ended.

You need to name the members of the repair team from a podcast called The White Vault which takes place in Svalbard.

If you find the location from the ICAO airport codes or the name of the airplane featured in the video you can just google that plus "repair team" and it should come up right away in your search results.

Oh. So, it was a podcast. I kept thinking it was either a movie or a video game.

Thanks.
