HS3 - Global Hawk #872 09/16/13 - 09/17/13 Science Report
This flight was our only flight to Tropical Storm Humberto. Humberto had earlier been a hurricane and then had dissipated, but had reformed into a tropical storm the morning of the flight. A follow-up AV1 flight (Sept. 17) had to be cancelled due to a navigation unit failure.
