Re: Wilma, Category 5 and Breaking Records

Multiple reasons for not more flights. $$$$'s and distance are some of the main ones. Lose about 30 minutes outbound and 30 minutes on the return because of the hunters being displaced to Atlanta. I know there have been numerous equipment problems too this season.

Whole hunter fleet needs an influx of dollars from Congress; but that won't hapopen anytime soon.
