Frank Marlow moved over to the C-9 and David Mumme & Jeff Moultrie took control of the SCA. David was the pilot for the second leg.
Thanks for posting that, I don't know why I called David Mumme, Bill in my post yesterday - It must have been some sort of Freudian slip (Bill Mummy from "Lost in Space" verses David Mumme). Oh well...

Yes, to be clear that is the destination! For some reason there seems to be some doubt in the thread on this.
The plan is to get gas and check the weather before pressing on to the Cape.

Eyeballs at the Cape(mine) show typical morning, lots of low clouds that I'd expect to raise to 2-4K before too long. Also a layer of high clouds at 12K+. Unlike Friday there are no cells visible in the area, and no obvious vertical (thermal) activity in the clouds, yet. If they can keep moving and get here before heating effects take over, should be good weather here.

Naturally, Fort Campbell is at the other end of the state and I'm working this afternoon and evening.

St. Louis affiliates trying to get a shot of the flyby. Local Nashville affiliates heading to the base. Those are WSMV, WKRN, WTVF. Unknown if they'll show it live. At the least, they will get video, and run it in later newscasts and possibly online.

Great going! Thanks for giving heads up to these news stations! It REALLY aids interest in spaceflight!
Hope we can see these station broadcast video!

KSC's weather actually looking worse than yesterday... Storms are already offshore, and there's an increased potential for severe weather in the area this afternoon and evening. Excessive lightning and even the potential for hail exists (some small hail reported in the region Sunday.)

Right now it's pretty good, so the sooner they get off the ground the better the odds. But once afternoon kicks in, conditions go bad in a hurry...

Cool...I called Ft. Campbell first!
Too bad they can't fly a tad further east towards me. Would love to get a good look as they fly over.

They have to wait for the Credit card to clear...unless they put it in as a debit...
