Dear ACCLIP colleagues,

The GV operations in Korea are completed. Tomorrow the aircraft will head to Alaska, then to Colorado to finish the mission.

We have been through a lot together in the last month, and through even more in the last two years with the two postponements due to COVID. We struggled with challenges that none of us have seen before, yet we are here - and it appears we have succeeded. This is a good time for me to reach out to all of you and say, THANK YOU for your perseverance, dedication, interest, knowledge and good spirits throughout the challenging project.

I hope the ACCLIP dataset will provide for months and months of analyses, discoveries and arguments, and lead to dozens of breakthrough publications. On behalf of the EOL team, my thanks to the science and instrument teams! And the EOL and RAF team - thank you so much for all your hard work. I am indebted to all of you.

We all have field project stories from past projects, and those from ACCLIP will have their rightful place among them, if not at the very top. The Lake Osan, the U2 takeoffs, the F16 flybys, the A-10s taxiing past in numbers, and the WB-57 and the GV working from the same ramp at the same time. One can't make things like that up! ACCLIP was an amazing project.

Last and the most important, I want to thank ESPO for their enormous effort put into ACCLIP. They provided the foundation of the logistical support, without which nothing would have succeeded. Everyone on the project relied on ESPO at all times. Thank you so much, Jhony, Erin, Stevie, Sam, Dan, Andrian, Judy, Kelly and everyone!

Sincerely yours,
Pavel
