| Comments: | Transit Fairbanks to Palmdale. Six spiral descents with missed approaches were executed over Northway, Alaska; Whitehorse Yukon; Grant County Airport, Washington; Burns, Oregon; Winnemucca, Nevada, and the Edwards, AFB TCCON site. Two en route descents to 500 feet AGL were made near Coronation and Moresby Islands. Conditions were satisfactory until encountering persistent smoky and hazy conditions from near mid latitude over British Colombia and remained that way until landing at Palmdale. Instrument teams and mission science reported good results. | ||||
