| Comments: | After take-off, proceeded to initial target, Williams Flats fire near Spokane Washington. Started sampling aged smoke in Spokane area including a missed approach at Spokane International Airport. Then headed to where fire was burning, doing normal “fishbone” pattern in new smoke. Pattern also included a CALIPSO satellite overpass, as well as concurrent flight with ER-2. Then headed east to fly a remote sensing pass over the Snow Peak fire north of Missoula, Montana on our way to Horsefly fire near Helena, MT. The Horsefly smoke plume was sampled in a long fishbone pattern with two remote sensor passes and several transecting in-situ passes. Aircraft operated nominally. Only minor instrument issues reported. | ||||
