Sounds good to me Bob. I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning in a 747, departing Minneapolis and arriving in Kingston.
I suppose if nobody has a problem with it, anyone wanting to do relief flights can file for time. Use SPC08190701 (08 being the month, 19 being the day, 07 being the year and 01 being the flight of the day) for your pirep.
The hurricane is expected to make landfall in Jamaica at 2000 local (2400Z) tomorrow night so make sure you arrive and depart prior to then.<br /><br /><!-- editby --><br /><br /><em>edited by: SPA118, Aug 18, 2007 - 08:57 PM</em><!-- end editby -->
