• The science instruments were installed on the aircraft, finishing up just after noon today.
• Due to inspections still to complete and a lot of paperwork still to close out , an ICF today was not possible. Scientists were posed to do more ground checks to verify their systems this afternoon.
• An ICF will be conducted once the aircraft reaches Korea.
• Current plan is to remove the science instruments and begin their pack up tomorrow afternoon.
• AirMods will arrive mid-morning on Wednesday to start the fuel tank installation which will take approximately 2 days. Hope to be able to get a check flight with the external tanks on Friday.
• At this time, it still looks like a transit date of 18April.
