Sorry nothing from Day 2. We were all exhausted and spent most of the day in bed/poolside. Last night Dave arrived with the truck and Al arrived by plane. We left the hotel at 06:30 for the hangar and unloaded our cargo. We have staged all the equipment in the lab area and everything seems to still be functional. Tomorrow we start uploading equipment to the plane and calibrating a few instruments outdoors. It looks like we'll be working Saturday, and we are also considering adding another instrument, which means Al would have to fly back and get it from the lab this weekend. We returned to the hotel from the hangar at 19:00 and we'll be meeting for sushi soon. I'm not much of a sushi connoisseur, so I hope Miao and Al have good suggestions.
Here is the hangar; the DC-8 (our plane) is the one in front. Behind it is a 747 named Sophia (not part of this project, but sharing the hangar). Sorry for the blurry photos, we are not allowed to use flashes because they will set off the infrared fire alarms.
Here's one photo from yesterday of Miao, myself, and Ankita (L to R) inside the cargo bay of the DC-8. I'll post more photos tomorrow. I haven't downloaded today's pictures yet.
