We're in FK15 right now, and I'm planning to be on RS-44/CW from this same grid on the next pass at 17/0023Z. We should cross into FK14 sometime around 17/0200Z. I should be on XW-2A at 17/0205Z and RS-44/CW at 17/0215Z.

 

We're setting clocks back tonight for our first time change of 10 this trip. This time change makes CAS-4A and -4B passes around 0400Z possible.

 

Grey cumulus clouds are starting to develop which is no surprise for this area, so I'll have to keep an eye on them. Even if I had some kind of shelter to cover the gear and myself with, I'm operating from a helo flight deck that's more than 100 feet above the water line not to mention waving the Elk antenna around. Ben Franklin I'm not!

 

I'm estimating FK01, F010, and FJ09 for tomorrow late afternoon and evening. We'll transit the Canal (FJ09, FJ08, and FJ07) on Sunday.
