"CAPE NEWENHAM WELCOMES YOU"
This sign was posted on top of a small "waiting room" on the Cape Newenham runway. It was good for a chuckle.
Base Camp and radome.
Another view of the base camp. Silver building is the gymnasium and the smallest building (in the distance and near center) is the Weather Station.
Cape Admin Office. Two large circular objects are aircraft landing gear. Makes you wonder what happened to the airplane?
