REMARKS:
7 RECCOs, 2 good dropsondes, 2 VDMs (11 total obs)
This was a 24/1130Z fix mission into Tropical Storm Bret. The center was estimated to be at 13.1N 70.5W and we entered from the NE to the SW, then to the SE quadrant, and ended by heading out due north. We only had drops at the center points. The storm was a Tropical Storm when we entered and decayed throughout the mission (looked like it was opening into a wave after our first fix). We flew at FL050. This was a pretty messy storm as it was very sheared and the FL center was well displaced from the surface center. As far as issues, I was getting a COMERROR on SATCOM when I went to send a test ADM. Met Shop came out and was able to fix it after reloading the keys and restarting the pallet. Additionally, I got the "Mission File Empty" error on Graph Manager. The computer also crashed (blue screen of death) about 20 miles out from our first fix point so we had to go into a holding pattern. After recovering it, SATCOM stopped working (XMITFAIL) so I restarted everything again and it fixed it. The hygrometer was also reading warmer than the Td at various points throughout the mission, but a restart of Mission Manager fixed it (temporarily, it eventually came back). Finally, I had a GPS FOM of 2 on System C (switched to F at 1253Z).
