Nov 24 10:46:09 hang on ben getting john hallet to read this Nov 24 10:46:15 Man that hurts Bill. Nov 24 10:47:55 Ben, we're headed back today now, directly Nov 24 10:48:25 Would you like a suggested range of flight altitudes for intercepting icing on your way home? Nov 24 10:48:38 Hi - Jorgen here, message to George. Nov 24 10:48:51 Bill, ETA when you get a chance. Nov 24 10:49:27 C-130 is on the way back from Watertown to Cleveland, transiting at 10 kft, which should be nesr the sloping melting layer. Nov 24 10:49:34 cowan, what hurts? Nov 24 10:50:03 Having to reboot they system for the second time. Rought flight for you. Nov 24 10:50:16 Plans for tomorrow are yet TBD. To some extent it depends on the forecast. Can we wait until the 3:30 briefing to decide? Nov 24 10:50:58 Yes, I believe that we can wait for that. I haven't heard if a 3:30 briefing is definitely going to occur, since the Convair is going to do an afternoon flight over North Bay. Nov 24 10:51:55 ETA of 19:10Z, or an hour and 20 minutes Nov 24 10:52:23 Thanks Bill I'll let the mechs know. Nov 24 10:52:34 10000 ft on your way home should be reasonable. The freezing level will drop hard as you cross the front in W-NY. Nov 24 10:52:51 Good chance of getting icing on your way in to land at CLE, too. Nov 24 10:53:43 Ben, - Yes. Nov 24 10:54:54 That is yes for estimated flight altitudes on the way back for intercepting ining regions. Nov 24 10:54:54 Thanks, Ben Nov 24 10:54:54 Ben, Is the convair definitely going for a late flight tonight, and would that preclude them on an early morning flight? Nov 24 10:54:56 yeah, john, not much fun this flight, tell you more later.. Nov 24 10:56:02 Yes, the Convair has 2 flights planned for today. They just took off to fly over North Bay. They plan a 2nd flight over YMX in the 0-4Z time frame. Nov 24 10:56:32 The Convair will NOT fly the early morning strato-cu deck over YMX tomorrow morning. The Twin Otter will handle that. Nov 24 10:56:58 No 3:30pm briefing this afternoon. Next briefing is scheduled for 6am eastern time for a possible 7am Twin Otter takeoff. Nov 24 10:58:29 OK, that makes it more attractive for us to plan for Mirabel early tomorrow, as long at we can work it out with the TwinOtter Nov 24 11:00:48 Sounds good. I hope you guys find something interesting on the way home. There have been lots of PIREPs, but most are concentrated to the W of a line from BUF to PIT. Those PIREPs are up high (20+kft), but they come down to your altitude range and below to the west. Nov 24 11:02:42 The back edge of the precip has moved through CLE, snow ended, still windy (2615G23), TAF has G28. Nov 24 11:04:51 You are approaching the front edge of the precip, which is 1/4 of the way from BUF to ROC. Nov 24 11:10:10 Thanks, Ben Nov 24 11:10:10 John Cowan, Nov 24 11:10:10 Are there any spare metal bars to fix the GNI "rack" onto one of the C-130 racks?

Nov 24 11:28:58 Jorgen, How does the inside part of the tube mount to the plate. Describe the location (up down forward aft) of the handle. Nov 24 11:36:51 Push the rod all the way through, look at the semicircle at the sklide end. The flat surface should face forward. Look also at the black drawing I made on the lasagna pan for orientation. Does it make sense? Nov 24 11:44:31 Jorgen, Looks like the catch is up making it so the slide faces forward when exposed? Nov 24 11:48:47 final report: nezerov is shot, liquid water has flat lined...wsi is ok after several reboots, everything else is ok, even 2d's as they cleared up after take-off, they'd filled with water, proably need cleaned..hercules has worked fine after reboot, don't know what caused it to lock up...see ya soon, Bill.. Nov 24 11:48:53 Yes - I guess. I cannot remember, b ut The flat surface should face forward. Nov 24 11:49:49 Moderate to severe turbulence was just called in between 10000 and 7000 feet near Cleveland by a B737... be ready. Nov 24 11:49:54 Jorgen, I have a short hollow sliver tube that looks to go inside the tune that goes out the window. It has a machined end that looks to fit into the opening is this correct?
