What's up with the altitude? Instrument error?

[cycloneye]

Jan,lets see in the next set if that decent continues or not.Yes they haved been up to 12,000.

[RL3AO]

What's up with the altitude? Instrument error?

They descended to operational altitude.

[cycloneye]

Yes,they are there now.

[x-y-no]

Jan,lets see in the next set if that decent continues or not.Yes they haved been up to 12,000.

Altimeter is definitely screwed up. I don't think a C130 is even capable of those kind of maneuvers without breaking up. One pair has them descending 5400 meters in 30 seconds.

[Chacor]

They're flying at only 1,000 ft?

[RL3AO]

They're flying at only 1,000 ft?

That seems a tad low for a non-invest.

[pojo]

They're flying at only 1,000 ft?

that is determined between the crew and CARCAH.

[vacanechaser]

They got bored.

[Thunder44]

Last two vortex fixes definitely show a NNW movement in the past 2 hours. Although they keep coming further west of the center we are seeing on the visible sat:

[brunota2003]

Welp, Recon ish sitting on the runway ^^

[HURAKAN]

I can do the graphics!!

[brunota2003]

So, what do we all think Recon will find? I'ma thinking a 50 mph TS that is still strengthening. Predicting pressure of 1005 millibars.
