Quick status on today’s KORUS activities:
A one hour operational check flight was conducted this morning to give the pilots more familiarity and checkout with the new avionics.
HF radio was in-op and must/will be fixed before deployment.
AirMods began work around 1400 today for installation of the external fuel tanks and will work late this evening.
Hope to do a checkout flight with the external fuel tanks either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. Still on track for an 18 April transit.
