Delivery Problems
Mr. Kult has been hard at work building the delivery system. He has ran into some snafus though. He is having trouble getting it up, I mean down, I mean... Nina and I have talked about it and we have decide he is going to buy a bigger "magnet" which should help. Hopefully the magnet will get the job done, but if not we will just have to scramble here to get some sort of rudimentary system that works. That would mean no big red button though so hopefully Kult's new big "magnet" will help him get the job done.
If only it worked with something on it!
NORMANDY!
I flew a bunch of test runs today and was able to get as low as 300 feet and as slow as 80 knots. So those will be the target for the actual drop. Also it looks like we should be able to get a fairly safe drop. I need to decide pretty quick here if we should do it Saturday or Sunday morning.
Josh and I went to Normandy by land and there is a place to stand that should be at least 1000 feet from the target point. Now we just need to get the target setup. The area is pretty marshy so its not going to be super easy to get the target spot setup. Also we might need to change the angle at which we approach depending on where we have everybody stand. I am pretty sure no one wants us flying over their head and no one wants to stomp through muddy marsh.
Lori is going to either bring her transceiver or give it to Kurt to bring up so that is taken care of. We will have communications with the people on the ground so they can warn us if they think we are going to hit them or something else we don't want to hit.
Mission Card
I got a good start on the mission card but any suggestions for additions would be much appreciated. Right now it's only taking up about half a page and some of the numbers on there are only stubs( so don't email me that the tof is wrong).
Coming Up
The following things need to be completed or decided:
1) More test runs preferable with the B3C2 software
2) Make it so the B3C2 software can take inputs for size and weight for different bombs
3) Setup target
4) Decide exact date and time, its between 9amish Saturday or Sunday
5) Get exact GPS coordinates for target
6) Sacrifice a lamb for good luck
