KH4, MIDWAY ISLANDS (OC-030). On Saturday, October 10th, the following
press release was sent out from Tom, N4XP: "The entire team is in Honolulu.
On Thursday when the first members were to depart to Midway we were
informed of a problem with the plane involving an oil leak. We were
assured it was fixable. Friday several test flights were made that
determined that the repairs were unsuccessful. We are frantically
searching for alternative means. We discovered yesterday that there
are no available planes on the island that are either certified to fly
to Midway or large enough for us. We are negotiating with a company in
California for a jet as well. The plane we originally chartered is about
to take off on a test flight to determine if the repairs made overnight
were successful. The team is not giving up and exploring ALL options to
make this happen. Fish and Wildlife is being very supportive of our
efforts but in no way will they extend the end date of our operation
beyond the 19th due to the return of migratory species that have already
begun to return early. We will update this website in 5 or 6 hours when
the plane returns and is checked out. We are as frustrated as you."
On Sunday, just before going to print, a statement on the KH4 Web page
states, "(0400z) We have just learned our aircraft is in the air testing
repairs made in the past 24 hours. We are anxiously waiting the results."
