The last pass before leaving the storm did not go through the center.

Well another ITOP flight is off from Guam, but it is scheduled to investigate the cold wake behind Megi and not tasked for recon. In addition, Megi is only 30nm from the coast now, and given its current translational speed will make landfall in several hours. The flight is sending out HDOBs, so if anyone wants to post them on the off chance the plane gets there before landfall can do so. The Google Earth program is active for the West Pac thanks to Chris_In_Tampa.
