| Comments: | This marked the first takeoff of TN872 from WFF and first science mission from WFF. The targets were P25L and P30L. The fuel burn rate was higher than expected during the flight and the aircraft returned to the coast of Virginia early. In the end, the total flight time was only about 30 minutes shorter than originally planned. | ||||
