LaRC B200: (by Taylor Thorson)
We were unable to get the overweight flight accomplished today. Maintenance is working tirelessly for a possible flight tomorrow. If the flight does not go tomorrow (Saturday), we will slip the flight until Monday and leave for the deployment on Tuesday (sliding everything one day to the right).
Good news:
Install of ferry tanks completed
Weight and balance completed
Partial transfer test of fuel completed
Winds and weather favorable for Hawaii transit
