Current Ops. Gave up 45 minutes of our "on time" window by flight planning us to get there at 1745Z instead of 1700Z ("middle of window" is logical when on 6-hrlies, but not single alpha pattern) 2. Weather. On lightning hold for a long time 3. Mx/Tail swap. While on wx hold in heavy rain, APU bogged down/quit. 4. Refuel and bird severe. 5. Updated coordinates in flight. CARCAH requested third fix and 75NM legs on this msn. 5 sondes (1 bad sonde/fast fall in NE max wind band); 3 vdms; 8 reccos.
