Mission Plan :
NOAA 42RF will fly an HRD-tasked Genesis mission in Tropical Disturbance
Tomas in the Caribbean Sea. The P-3 will leave MacDill AFB, FL at 2000 UTC
and will recover in St Croix, USVI by 0500 UTC of the following day.
The plan is to do a figure- 4 with 90 nm legs. The flight track time is
calculated for 11,000ft. We would like to fly at 10,000ft (pressure). We will
be doing drops at the end points of the legs.
