I will post a final go/no go by 6:00 Friday night, stay tuned! I’m thinking about a 10:00 pilot’s meeting, to allow the weather to settle down and temps to warm up. With the late start we may use the Jim Loughren task format, that is 6-8-10-10-8-6. Standard landings.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">HFT folks please advise if you plan to attend. This may also color our thinking regarding go or no.
