May 18 POD UPDATE 3
Citation crew hung in with us waiting for the dryline to fire today. Alas, it was too cloudy, cool and capped this evening so nothing fired. Thanks guys!
ER-2 is now "green" for operations tomorrow (Thursday). Tomorrow's plan is 2000 UTC ER-2 take-off with T-5 call at 1500 UTC (1000 CDT). There is a (hopefully) better chance for dryline forced convection tomorrow afternoon into evening. We'll adjust and refine plans for Thursday and Friday, including phasing of ER-2 ops between the two potentially stormy days. We will also clarify our vision for Citation's role in Thursday potential operations during the morning briefing period.
