#3 Nothing says "I'm committed to fighting climate change" like taking a C-130 on a press junket.

#6 Also that evil fossil fuel likes to gel up in the cold along with the evil hydraulic fossil fluid. Regular fluid seals don't like that, and seals in rotating equipment really "no me gusta" that shit. Engines running and only on the ground long enough to unload/load and get back in the air. They aren't usually on the ground waiting for some bitch to take a two day photo-op/propaganda shoot. I'm certain she made the C-130 stay so she wouldn't be stranded waiting on the next flight. Also pretty certain that the Kiwis don't keep maintainers on the ground in Antarctica. So a second C-130 flies the mechanics in and takes her home leaving the poor bastards to repair their own ride home in lovely weather. But hey, it's Springtime in Antarctica right now, isn't it?
