Fantastic flight... Congratulations Gordon and Hugh.. *!!


Kempton alerted me around 3:30pm so I watched in awe the SPOT tracks
all the way to sunset.


Also captured some upper air charts, raobs and satellite photos. They
are all zipped up at around 9.8MB he

The satellite photos start around 2100Z or 2pm PDT and continue to
sunset. All of them are in the zipped file every 15 minutes for two
regions; one centered on Reno and the other Las Vegas. Converted them
to a 1fps video he

Thanks Walt, I was also capturing the dustcams at Mono & Owens Lake.
Lots of good material for the documentary. Tom Serkowski's too.

Another good reason to mark your calendar for Feb 2-4 to attend the
SSA Convention in Reno this winter. This will be a super
presentation!
