Even the hygrometer worked. No problem with Graph Manager this time (a previous flight had a "Mission Empty Window" pop up, then GM locked up. Note: the same thing happened on 5301 on 25 Sep coming back from TISX) SFMR verified with the sonde surface wind exactly (sonde dropped from 6,000). Basically flew box patterns north of Cuba, waiting for the broad low to emerge. However, it was over land most of the night. Only later in the flight did the northern portion begin to emerge. No Vortex Msgs were ever sent. rmh
