This is a short hop- only about a hundred miles or so. Cruising altitude was 17,000ft, speed 250KIAS. Took off in iffy weather, and landed in thick fog.
Comodor Williams' claim to fame is that it seems to be the farthest south I can get with a 737 for a landing. While there are airports farther south, they're all smaller- which is going to be Part 2, a side trip in a Grand Caravan to look around the outposts and Antarctica.
