Yep I agree and besides the NHC is at 55kts right now so it would be easy to hold at 55kts for them.

Today we got more than just your typical Alpha Pattern.

Nope, that right there is more of a "Where the heck is the center?!"

It looks like our mission has been sent on a slight diversion to investigate the area off of SC.

Ah Interesting, though are they going to decend or just staying at altitude and just have a little nosey at it?

#167 Postby **HURAKAN** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 3:58 pm

I don't see anything that needs to be investigated by RECON.

I agree, but if they're doing it - should we do a thread over in TT if they descend to Operational Altitude?

No decent. They just changed their path. Most likely to line up for approach.

they probably changed their path because of a military operations area that went active... and there are PLENTY around GA/FL.

They're getting closer...

KWT · #176 Postby **KWT** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:22 am

Yep won't be long before they reach the outer bands of Bertha, I guess we have about an hour before we start getting the juicy information.

KWT · #177 Postby **KWT** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:04 am

Plane is now descending down to operational level.

KWT · #178 Postby **KWT** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:52 am

Recn has just gone through the NW side of the system with max winds found probably only supporting 45kts, estimated pressure of 995mbs.
