issue(s): 
-had to reject first takeoff due to bird strikes.  returned to parking spot. all good. took off to resume mission
-due to gas issues, had to tweak pattern in storm 100nm legs with a ne-ctr-nw.  fuel efficiency was horrible on acft.  burned too much fuel, couldnt put a lot on, and time/distance from kbix-storm-cali mainly due to high temps
-intermentent issues with display bus 2.  selecting it would give unreliable date with colors being yellow and red in variable section.  
-satcom: would get COMMERROR and had to physically restart RT 3x, then work again
