REMARKS:
Mission Notes: Completed 4 hurricane penetrations. Landfall mission, did shore patrol until it made landfall so there was no 1130 or 1430 requirements.

Met System Used: C

Equipment Issues:
- SFMR DPU restarts when engines are upsped/downsped prior to takeoff
- There was an altitude miscompare so C/F had significant 
differences. C matched sonde/Slidell heights better and Display Bus 
setting "Left" was determined by the pilots to be the more accurate 
of the two display buses. AC wrote up in the forms. 
- Radar recorder did not work 

Transmitted:
RECCOS: 7
VDMS: 4
