1. WE FINALLY GOT A GOOD ONE ON 5044 A WITH - DRIVING.
ALTHOUGH FIRST FLITE LINE IN AND LAST OUT HAD HEAVY HAZE WITH
RESULTANT DEV OF S NM MAX, REMAINDER OF TGT AREA WX BETTER THAN
BRIEFED WITH DEV LESS THAN THREE NM AND EST 60 PERCENT
PLUS WHICH BELIEVE PESSIMISTIC. BELIEVE WE HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED
COVERAGE OF AREA OBSCURED BY HAZE.
20 WE WERE SOME SURPRISED AT FLYING SAME ROUTE TWO DAYS IN A ROW
COVERING S. CHINA BORDER AND SEVERAL LINES OVER HANOI, THOUGH
YESTERDAYS FLITE WAS TERMINATED ABOUT MIDPOINT ON THE FLITE ALONG
25X1A
25X1A
THE CHINA BORDER DUE WX. THIS WOULD SEEM TO CONFLICT WITH THE
POLICY OF NOT ESTABLISHING A ROUTE PATTERN.
3. IF PRESENT SORTIE RATE CONTINUES, WE ARE DOWN TO ABOUT ONE
MORE WEEK OF OPN UNLESS RESUPPLIED WITH FUEL AND OXYGEN0
MIGHT ADD THAT FLT PLANNER WX AND PI SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR.
THE THIRD SHOULD BE A GREAT HELP AND THE ART..PERFORMED
WELL AGAIN TODAY WITH ONE WRITEUP ON EGT WHICH WE ATTRIBUTE TO THE
INSTRUMENT. THE AUTO/? ~ BEEN 1tFpURT EXCELLENT THE LAST
