Re: Next recon?

TS Gaston flight should leave Keesler?, at 1100EDT. Tasked to be in the storm area from 13-2030EDT. In the storm itself from 14-2000EDT. If I read that right.

Frances flight should leave at 1200EDT, with storm tasking from 14-2000EDT also. Second and third flight will depart at 1400EDT for upper level recon at 2000EDT. Hurricane Hunters will be gathering data between 31-35,000ft. While the Gulfstream 4 gathers high level data between 43-45,000ft. Simultaneous flights at different altitudes should give better data than a single flight at 700mb.
