Re: No recon

I saw that too Clark. I wondered if they were just saving fuel!
Fly out, find tropical storm wind speeds, and fly back! Not Likely-Safety First. Looking at earlier flights today I think that AF985 and AF977 are both flying out of St Croix, as both their lat/ longs from today are in the Caribbean. Looks like the last report, before they turned back, was from west of Dominica.
