ATL: Marco : Tropical Storm - RECON Discussion

[HURAKAN]

Lets see how tiny is the center of TD 13. I think RECON will find TS winds.

Pojo, how was this mission organized since TD 13 developed so quickly? Did you guys had an idea of a possible mission for today?

It won't take long for each center pass. Hope they can find the system.

we got word of the mission right around our normal POD time.... it was a RP mission... its monday after drill weekend...we had the extra people around for a mission. I was going to fly a normal morning mission and was pulled off that to fly the RP.... we have learned how to be flexible.

today's mission was a no-go... had the crews couldn't get a plane in time to fix the storm.... it was another RP mission.
