Well that stinks, we really may have to wait until an eye forms before it gets a name

That is recon in the Pacific.

Flights out to the Pacific systems (near Hawaii) are right now originating out of MacDill??

[TropicalSailor]

I have them at about 26N 86W heading SW and descending.

No

I looked, the flight tracker may be erroneous

Are you sure? That link shows NOAA43...

Latest update. Not too many changes.

we are floating here

Recon did not turn back. Still headed in as of 1305 local. All SFMRs on the last batch of data were 35 KT or greater.

thought you were speaking of recon here in Pacific turning back. As far as this is updated it is still heading into storm.

[RL3AO]

No

Flight aware extrapolates when they don't have new data. This doesn't have a set flight path so it assumes it's heading towards an airport like a normal plane.

Continuing to head SW (225 @ 162kt) on this last update. Consistent 20-30knt winds.

Okay, someone help me with this? I've got two different flight trackers in play at the moment. One shows the flight on return to McDill and the other closing in the storm?? Here are the links:

http://airbornescience.nasa.gov/tracker ... g=-84.7321

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N43RF

My guess would be that the NASA tracker has the real-time data and the FA tracker estimates locations and travel paths based on pre-entered and scheduled data which might be erroneous in this case.

Edit: RL3AO beat me to it.

[StormTracker]

Is this considered "off topic"? I'm sorry if it is, but I thought it needed mentioning!

Oh, okay...

Brand new ascat pass.

Those are some strong winds and tight center there.
