No more recon into Lane
Posted by Chris in Tampa on 8/22/2018, 11:31 pm
All the aircraft are being evacuated. Safety first, though I would have thought they could have risked some Air Force aircraft. (In all they have 10, though I don't know how many are currently operational.) Personnel they could have sheltered in a safe place during the storm. The G-IV mission has finished this evening so that's the last of the data around the storm for the models.

I never considered that recon would have to be stopped.
