Re: Recon

I think your getting the data from when they flew over the mountains... i looking at it now... the pressure readings were taken as they crossed that part of the landmass... since its high up.. pressure is lower on the mountain side... they are back over water now... descending in alt... they crossed from 11kft on one side to 5,100ft on the other side... I read somewhere we were given permission by the gov't to fly only over the area they are flying... and can fly to a certain distance to the shoreline.

Recon is less than 100miles at 1am CDT.. at 5kft above water.. Inbound
