Lucky Leg the 13th, Pues

Leaving The South Polar Region
I decided to head to Comodoro Rivadavia next, and see where the center I'd been communicating with was located. Comodoro is the biggest little city south of Buenos Aires except for Punta Arenas, or something. Which seems snarky, and probably is. Comodor is about 545 NM from Ushuaia, so I took off with the center tank empty. Cruised at FL360, 270KIAS. Took about 2 hours. Winds were strong during approach- strongest I've encountered so far, so biggest crab angle yet.

The Wiki entry for Comodoro is here. Naturally, in FS, there's no city there...
