[brunota2003]

does the 126 knots support upgrading again to 130???

[Brent]

does the 126 knots support upgrading again to 130???

I think it's an 80% reduction in this case, so no.

80% reduction at 850mb. So it would be near 125mph at the surface.

Plane is heading to base.

Will this mission be the last one as Wilma is racing NE? There is one for early tommorow morning but I guess it will be canceled.

I would think that's it for recon - those folks need a big rest.
