Thanks for the update, Hank. And the good word of nothing waiting in the wings...so to speak.

Recon has departed Emily, as of 0637Z, and are on their way home. That was one, long, mission.
They flew their first fix at 2327Z yesterday. Over 6 hours of storm time and they aren't home yet.
I bet they can't stand the "Emily" word. Like the "Dennis" word.
Bunny Rabbit storms this year...they keep going and going.
