CC: That's affirmative. We've got a few other goodies here for you. When you start up FTC, we'd like you to do it with quads Bravo and Charlie disabled. And a couple of switches for your COMM system; your FM transmitter group 1 cirouf* breaker should be closed and S-BtbND AUX TV switch OFF, and then go ahead and power down your high gain antenna and give us OMNI Bravo. And a quick reminder, your state vector is now loaded iu the LM slot and your P23 is _till in the CSM side.
CMP: Okay. We've got all those switches set and we're going to give you OMNI Bravo right now.
CMP: Houston, 12. CC Go
CMP: What's the midcourse adjusting for?
CC: Stand by for a second. We'11 check.
CC: 12, Houston. The reason for the midcourse is that ycu're a little bit shallow and we want to steepen it up. Right now, we're looking at a flight-path angle of 5.77 and a perigee of 30.
CC: Say, Jerry, earlier today, I asked to take off my sensors so that I could replace them with some new ¢nes because they weren't working properly, _nd I took them off and one of them Tape lhh/19 is sort of broken out like Pete's. What I'd like to do, if it's okay with the surgeons, is leave the sensors off tonight and when I get up tomorrow morning real early, I'11 put the whole new set on; that way, they'11 have the BIOMED for reentry and - see if they think that's okay.
CC: Roger, Al. The surgeon concurs on that. They'd like to watch the CMP tonight for the sleep period and the other two guys in the bags can go without.

CC: Apollo 12, Houston. No need to answer me, but you need to get quads Bravo and Charlie off.
CC: Roger, guys. Sorry to wake you up, but we're about concerned the chlorine situation. We'd hate like the dickens to see you guys get stuck with an extra 20 days in the quarantine because of it. The status down here now is we'd like you, if you've got chlorine, to go ahead and chlorine the wattr - chlorinate it even if you don't have the buffer. The thing is that you ought to do it now, so when you get up in the morning, it'11 taste reasonably good enough so that you can handle it.
CDR: Okay. Consider it done.
CC: Roger. How about the C_; is he hooked up to BIOMED?
CDR: Yes. Do you have it on him?
CC: No. We sure don't.
CDR: Don't, huh?
CMP: What are we supposed to use f_r a buffer for that chlorine?
CC: 12, Houston. The surgeon says that you won't even need a buffer. If you put it in now and let it sit all night and then disseminate into the water, that i% won't be too bad in the morning.

CMP: Hello, Houston; 12. It's all right. I got it nOW.
CC: Very good. That gives us a lot of comfort to realize they're all still up the:-e.
CMP: Why should that be comforting to you? What if we missed one? What would you care?
CC: Oh, we don't mind if we miss a star, but if all the planets aren't there, you know, the astrol- ogers are really bent out of shape.
CMP: Well, being there and seeing is one - two dif- ferent things.
CMP: Don, star 75 is not visible. '_)
CC: Roger. No 75.
CMP: And I'm going to press on to star 2_.
CC: Roger. 152/1 Tape
CMP: Don, one of the problems I'm having with this one is, that star is so dim that when I get it down to the airglow, it almost washes out to nothing, and I can't quite tell where ii. is. But I'11 go ahead and mark on him anyway.
CMP: Half the time I can't find him; I lose him.
CMP: That's about the toughest star I've had to do so far.
CC: Say again, Dick.
CC: I said that one is about the toughest one I've had.
CC: We're giving you your MAX test since this is your last chance.
CMP: Well, if they get any dimmer than that, I'm not going to be able to see them.
CMP: Houston, on this particular star here, there's a big round, very dim - very dim orange ball that covers about three-quarters of the sextant, but I can see the star through it even though it doesn't appear orange itself.
CC: Is tnat a Sun reflection, or what's causing the orange ball? Do you know?
CMP: I don't know. I would suspect it might be the proximity to the Sun, but I'm really not sure of that.
CMP: I don't have the complete orange - I don't have the complete orange ball in the sextant, but I've got the better half of it.
CC: _oger. Copy.
UNKNOWN: Look at that - Look at that - Look at that patch and you can see how much of the Moon is in tha_ patch, and that's a little bit more than that in here on the Sun.
CC: Roger, D_ok. J
CC: We suspect that's scattered light, Dick.
CMP: I'm sure it is.
CMP: Houston, 12,
CMP: Don, I can't use this star either. Once I start moving it, there's so much scattered light that I lose the star completely, and I can't keep track of it.
CC: Roger. That's what the test is to show. Thanks. one.
CMP: Okay. I'!1 press on to the next
CMP: _ the famous astronaut once said, press.
CMP: Well, I think that's a good one to end on.
CC: I'11 give you an optics CAL again.
CC: Dick, Houston. Can you tell us how the horizon compares now with the second batch of translunar that you did when you had a good clear horizon?
CMP: The second batch - Which second batch are you referring to, Don? On the way out or on the way back in?
CC: Translunar, on the way out.
UNKNOWN: Well, I think there's probably a little learning process as to what is the horizon you ought to be using. I think far too much is made of that airglow layer, and you can almost use what you think is the horizon, which _lso includes the airglow layer. And it's really not that undefined. It's fairly definite; it's very easy to usc. And I think the secona set that I did going out was by far the better one, and I've been using that particular horizon for all of these all the - on the way back in.
CC: Roger. We copy. Thank you very much.
CC: Apollo 12, Houston. If you're interested, we've got football scores, the morning headlines, and the local weather for you, if you want to york that in among your busy activities.

In the AFL: Oakland took Kansas City, 27 to 2h; Houston 32, Miami 7; New York _0, Ciocinnati 7; Boston 35, Buffalo 21; and San Diego _5, Denver 2_. In the news: Splashdown stories and yesterday's news conference Andy are getting good coverage. Pete's boys, and Chris, did a ]ittle soaring of their own yesterday. Scott Royce took the boys and Jane up for a ride yesterday. Andy said he'd rather work that out with him later, Pete. And Chris's reaction was, "It feels good, but I still like to water ski the best." There's a provocative headline, "Boston Hospital Maternity Wards Are Feeling The Impact Of Two Severe February Snow- storms," and I'11 let you imagine how the story runs. The Houston weather is pretty bad. It's overcast and drizzling, not really a day the Chamber of Commerce would be proud of; however, in the landing area, we're reporting 1830 scattered and a high scattered, winds out of the east at 15 knots with 10-mile visibility. The waves are 3 feet; you've got 5-foot swells, and if you've remembered to pack yeur lava-lavas it should be a lovely day in the South Pacific.
CMP: _ank you, Don. It sounds real good, and we'11 be happy to see the land of lava-lavas.
CC: Very gocd.

UNKNOWN: Hello, Houston; Apollo 12.
CC: Don, I guess we ought to start thinking about getting these state vectors up to speed. I have the onboard ones for the CSM and the ground CSM state vectors in the LM slots. Do you want us to put the ground vector in both slots now?
CC: Just a second, Dick; we're talking.
CC: Dick, Houston. _'nevectors that you've got in there now are quite satisfactory for the present, but we're going to send you some much better ones in the flight plan, so we'11 - We don't think there's any need to play with them now, and we'11 send you up some better ones later.
CMP: Okay. I've got a 239:b0 as the time we were talk- ing about. Okay. Very good.
CMP: I didn't particula_-ly appreciate your saying much better. You could have s_.ida little better, .. couldn't you?
CC: Sorry about that. It's early in the morning down here.
CMP: Houston, 12. We're ready to start PTC when you give us the word.

CMP: 12, Roger.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. On our last LOS during your roll, we did not acquire high gain; we ex- pected to. Would you verify if your high gain angles are pitch, 40; yaw, 270?
CMP: Okay. We have minus 40 - plus 40 in pitch.
CC: That's affirmative. It should be plus bO.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. I've got a couple of things for your operations checklist, page Foxtrot 5-8.
CMP: Okay. Say which page, Don?
CC: That's Fox 5-8.
CMP: Oh, okay; 5-8.
CC: Bight.
CMP: GO ahead.
CC: Okay. We pick up the checklist there with the _S drift check, and we would like to know the results of that on the ground when it's complete. And now, about the ninth liue down, where it calls out the set DELTA-Vc, we'd like you to set the DELTA-VO plus !00 feet a second if you would, please.
CC: And that's it. Thank you. TRANSCRIPTION Page 10_1
CMP: Okay. Roger, Paul. This little t_,_S test that's in the checklist for the P_i; I Just ran 't for 100 seconds. I set it at 100 feet per second. It ran for 100 seconds, and now the _iS reads 102.2. Over.

CC: Okay, Dick. We're looking right now at a midcourse 7 of about 2-1/2 feet a second. They want to get another - about another half hour of tracking, after which they will work up your maneuver PAD for you then.
CMP: Okay. We're not in any big rush except to get home, and we'11 wait any length time you need for that midcourse.
CC: Okey-doke. tion for you on the solar corona photos.
CC: Go ahead, Paul.
CC: Okay. They Just want you to take photos coming out of the shadow, and they're requesting that you use the Hasselblad, because you indicated the bl_ck-and-white film. Use the 80-millimeter lens, an f-stop of 2.8 focused at infinity. They Want you to take as many photos as you can starting at a GET of 241:55:20. Now this is approximately 2 minutes before your sunrise. To start off with, use a shutter speed of i second. As you come out of the shadow, as _ool_ as you can see a hairline ) shutter speed 1/125th, Sun, change your to and - setting Stand by 1. I'11 have your final in Just a minute.
CC: Okay, 12. And, as I said, as soon as you can see any sign of the sun at all, switch your - change your shutter speed to 1/125th. Take photos at that setting for 5 to 10 seconds, after which as the Sun comes up, then change to f:16 at 1/5OOth of a second. And you can Just take a bunch of photos at that; and, for information, the sunrise time is 241:57:18. Over. Understand.

And the first time we see a sliver of Sun, we'11 switch it to 1/125th and work on that for about 15 seconds; then we'11 shift over to f:11, 1/500th, and take some more.
CC: Okay, Al. Change over after the Sun - After you see the first sign of the Sun, go about 10 seconds instead of 15; and after the Sun starts coming up, your final f-stop _ 16. That's f:16 at a 500th. )
LMP: Understand; f:16 and 10 seconds at the earlier setting of f:2.8 at 1/125th.
CC: That's affirmative, Al. Also, in yo'_rflight plan, we call for a CO_5t check at 239 hours. We're not going to run that COMM check. We would, however, like you to go ahead and fire up your VHF and we'11 hold off until we get indications of a good signal strength on the ground, at which time we'11 then run a VHF COM_ check.
LMP: Sounds good. I Just turned it on right now.
LMP: Also, Houston, when you give us an attitude for this solar picture, how about giving it to us so it's good out window 5? That's our best window.

CC: Hello, Apollo 12; Houston. When you take those corona photos, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to turn the lights down in the cabin to try to minimizc reflections off the window, Pete. Over.
CDR: Okay. We'11 do that.
CDR: And the computer's yours anytime you want it, Houston.
CC: Computer's yours, Dick.
CMP: The CH RCS injector temp's, are as follows: 5 Charlie, 4.3; 5 Delta, 4._; 6 Alfa, h.0; 6 Bravo, _.5; 6 Charlie, _.3_ 6 Delta, 4.8.
CC: Roger. Copy, 12. Th_uk you.
CC: Okay, 12. No preheat on the injector.
CMP: Houston, 12. Are you copying the DSKY?
CC: Roger. We got them, 12.
CMP: Okay. We are going to torque it at this time.
CDR: We're rolling left to the burn attitude; we going to lose the high gain?
CC: Affirmative, 12. Give ds OMNI Delta, please.
CMP: We're getting a spectacular view at eclipse. We're using the Sun filter for the G&N optics, looking through, and it's unbelievable.
CC: Roger. Understand, Dick.
UNKNOWN: The reason it looks so much different is the limb of the Earth is eclipsing it. It's not quite a straight line, but it's certainly a large, large disk right now. Looks quite a bit different than when you see the Moon eclipse the Sun.
LMP: Anybody down there know how I - what we can set the camera at to use the Sun.filter on it? To - to - take a couple of shots of this eclipse right through it?
CC: Stand by and we'11 check.
LMP: They'd better hustle.
LMP: Funny thing is, you cannot see the Earth at all when you Just shield your hand from the Sun and look out right next to it where the Earth should be. It's not %here at all. When you stick your smoked glass up, you can see where it's cutting the - the Sun. Otherwise, it's completely in- visible.
LMP: Fantastic sight. What we see now is - The Sun done is illuminated the entire atmosphere all the way around the Earth, even though the Sun is still on what looks like the western limb of the Moon - the Earth to us.
CC: Roger. Understand, Al. And we're still working on getting a procedure for taking some photo- graphs of i_.
LMP: Man, it's too light. We're using those for same. sunrise. I think they'11 be exactly the
LMP: But the diameter of the Earth now looks eom- pared - to the Moon - I'd say about 15 times the dia_.eter of the Sun; but it's illuminating the whole atmosphere all the way around. It really looks pretty. You can't see the Earth. It's black Just like the - space.
CC: Roger. Understand you cannot make out the Earth at all.
CC: No. You can't see any features on it. All you can see is this sort of purple-blue, orange, some shades of violet, completely around the Earth. It's illu_inated.
CDR: It's very interesting looking at the atmosphere. instead It has blues and pinks in it, but of being banded, it's segmented, which is very peculiar; I don't understand why. It may be the difference between over the landmasses and water or something.
CC: Roger, Pete. Understand. Is it kind of like you would see in the desert in the evening sometimes when you get that blue and pink streak- ing in the sky?
CDR: Yes. Except, like I say, t's segm,.ntedfor about - Right from the Sm, around about a quarter of the Earth is pure blue, and then it becomes pink to about 20 degrees of arc; and then it turns back to blue again. And it's blue all the way around the bottom - to where it turns pink again, and then it turns blue again.
CC: It's a heck of a time to be without any 70-millimeter color film, i'11 tell you.
LMP: But I know how to get it on a 16-millimeter eam_r_.
CC: Okay, Al. Good show. We were Just thinking the same thing. !Tape 15_/6 r Page lob9 f-stop
LMP: Have you got a suggestion on the for the 16 millimeter?
CC: We're working on it.
LMP: It looks - It looks like this is going to have &lum_nated atmosphere, probably the whole time it's eclipsed. What it looks like now through the smoked glass is that the Sun is completely set behind the Earth, and you probably knov better than I do from some - -
LMP: Roger. We're using it at 1/60th at 1 frame a second and i - using 1._ f-stop and also at 2 - and what - and a 1. What it looks like is the Sun is set, but it's so close to the limb of the Moon on the back side there, that that bright light is being channeled through tLe atmosphere, and so if you look at it with a naked lie - eye you can't tell the Sun is set yet. Through the smoked glass, you can see that it's no longer a disk there, but you Just see a bright white line the diameter of the Sun.
CC: Roger, Pete. Understand. Al.
CMP: We're shooting these at 1/60th at 1.h, and that's where we're going to stay unless you come up with a better suggestion.
CC: Roger. We got that, Dick; 1/60th, 1.1_ at I frame a second. They're working on it in the back room and, actually according to our figures here, you should still be seeing a little piece of the Sun. You don't enter the full umbra until a little after 241 GET.
CDR: You:re absolutely correct. We still have a little bit of Sun through the horizon on %he western limb.
CMP: But right now, the Earth is completely - the atmosphere of the Farth is completely iflumi- '_ hated all the way around, 360, and right in the center it's as black - it's as dark at the - as space behind it itself. This is rea!iy spectacular.
CMP: Have you got any more adjectives for spectacular? I'd like to use some if you have.
CC: No. We'11 put somebody to work on that, too.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. You _e taking these pictures through the optics, right?
CMP: Negative, Houston. Through the hatch window.
CC: 12, Houston. Which lens do you have on the DAC?
CMP: I have 18 millimeter.
CC: Okay, 12; Houston. We've go_ some words for you. Set aligns to f:2, go to _IME on your mode select, 155/2 Tape and give us a 1-second exposure, if you would. Hit the button that opens the shutter; hit the I button again that closes it.
CMP: Understand. We'11 work on it.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 12. One thing that puzzles us a little bit, perhaps FIDO can answer it. It looks to u_ like the Sun is being eclipsed by the Earth - Earth's north pole or south pole. It's kind of hard to tell what - whether it is its east or west limb. Have you got any additional _ope there on that?
CC: Okay. We'11 find out and see which direction it's moving.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. For the mode select in TIME to function properly on the camera, the shutter speed has to be set to 1/60th even though that's not our actual shutter speed.
LMP: I'd say we've got it. Thank you, though, Houston.
UNKNOWN: This has got to be the most spectacular sight of the whole flight. We can see now that the Sun's behind the Earth. We can see clouds sort of on the dark part of the Earth; and, of course, the Earth's still defined by this thin narrow blue-and-red - or thin segmented band. I_'s a little bit thicker over at the - down where the Sun Just set than it is at the other one, but it is really a fantastic sight. The clouds appear sort of pinkish gray, and they're sort of scattered all the way around the Earth. It would be interesting to know exactly whatpart of the Earth we're looking at or what our nadir is now, because that part doesn't appear to have any clouds, and these others appear to be sort of revolving around it.
CC: Roger, Al. Understand that you can see clouds all the way around _he Earth including the dark portion of it, and ycur nadir right now is Just about the Indian Ocean.
CDR: Well, the whole - the whole Earth is dark to us. _e looking at the nightside, but we can see all the clouds. We haven't been able to distinguish 155/3 Tape landmasses yet, but we might be able to in a minute when we get a little bit better adapted, and I think the airglow is illuminating the clouds down there.
CC: 12, Houston. I'11 give you a time hack to ignition so you can check your DET. It'11 be at 8 minutes which is about h0 seconds away.
CDR: ghat happened to your time hack?
CC: Well, we're going to come up on 8 min,,tes - Yes, I blew it. I'11 give you one at 7:30.
CDR: Okay. (Laughber) I - you had me worried for a minute.
CC: Okay. We're discussing the important parts, such as which side of the world the Sun's set on. 5, h, 3, 2, i -
CC: MARK
CC: 7:30.
CDR: Okay. Wetre right with you.
CDR: Say, Houston. It's very interesting. We can see lightning and the thunderstorms down there on the Earth. I don't know how many miles out we are, but all the cloud cover that has thunder- storms in it, we can see lightning - you can see it quite clearly, flashing from wherever we are.
LMP: Yes. They look like - sort of just like fireflies down there blinking off and on.
CC: Yes. Yes. You're about 25 750 out.
LMP: Yes. We're starting to look out for these synchronous satellites now. We've been lookir- up ahead.
CDR: Sure hate to run into one up here.
CC: Yes. It could ruin your day.
CC: Apollo 12, Houston. If those lightning flashes frequent, are fairly we'd like to see if _c can them capture some of on film, which would be the mode you are presently in with the speed set to 1/60th at f:2, remain in the TI_ on the mode select, and leave the shutter cpen for 1 to 2 min- utes.
CMP: 011, yes. They're - they're equally - th:y're - _ley're that frequent. There's two areas down there that are quite active right now. Paul, that camera still for I to 2 minutes?
CMP: We'11 give it her go after we get this burn off.
CC: Hello, 12; Houstofi. On your question on where that it did go behind the western limb cf the Earth in the northern hemisphere and should reappear on the eastern limb, still in the northern hemisphere.
LMP: Okay. Plus 0.1, plus 0.1, minus nothing.
CC: 12, Houston. What did your _ re ad after that burn, please?
UNKNOWN: I even hate to tell you, it's - I'd say it's 102.4 to burn down to 100 - At the end of the burn, it was 101._ and moving fast - -
CMP: It was 102.7 at burn time after turning it on the normal switch at the proper 30 seconds before the burn.
CDR: Houston, 12. We - vt're better night-adapted now, the Red Sea, and we can see the Indian Ocean Page 105_ quite early. It's Amazing how well we can see, for that matter. We can see Burma and the clouds going around the coastline of Burma, and we can see Africa and the Gulf of Aqaba; it looks like the same photograph Dick and I took on 11.
CDR: Roger, P_te.
CDR: We can also distinguish the lights of large to,ms with our naked eye, Just barely, and by using the monocular, we can confirm that that's what we're seeing.
CC: Roger, 12. That's very interesting. You may now hold the class record for seeing lights.
CDR: I can tell you, there's a couple of ripdoozer thunderstorms down there thai are really - really letting go.
CC: From what can you see of the geography there, can you tell where the thunderstorms are, Fete?
CDR: Okay. I'11 give you a fix on this one that is really bright.
CDR: I'm going to give you a fix and say that it's about 2, 300 miles to the southwest of the tip of India. There seems to be a weather system out there, and it's got thunderstorms all the way along it.
CDR: It's - Venus is Just below the Earth, and we can see Venus quite clearly, well, you can see all kinds of stars, but Venus is Just below the Earth. This is - This is really a sight to behold, to see it at nighttime like this.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. For your information, weather does n_t have mn3's_rface reports from that region, but the satellite picture does show quite ex_ensive cloud coverage of the area you're reporting the lightning.
CDR: Okay. I got a - Unfortunately, we've got our Earth map stashed away. I wish I had it out. I'm not sure that I'm giviv4 you the absolute exact location. And the other thing is, it looks like, Just north of India and I'd say all up through China and Russia, if that's what we're looking at, the whole area in there looks like it is completely covered with clouds.
CC: Roger. Understand, Pete.
CDR: Also, also, right in the center of the Earth now, we have some real bright light shining, staying on - that - that Dick's looking at with the monocular. It's really bright.
CC: Roger. Understand. Does it appeal'to be coming from your nadir point, which should be Just off the eastern coast of India now?
CDR: Yes. Looks like it's coming Just about out of the center of what we're looking at. I would say south of Burma and east of India.
CC: Roger. That's just about your nadir.
CDR: I can't imagine what that is.
CC: We can't either. We're checking for possibilities.
CDR: It's a steady light, and it appears in size to be as big as any of the thunderstorms flashing·
LMP: Yes. It's as big as Venus at least.
LMP: It's hard to tell if it is exactly in the cen_er of the Earth or not, it's pretty close to being right in the center. Maybe Just a little bit to our right, whatever that means. Just a little bit to the side that the Sun did not go behind the Earth on.
CC: Roger. I think we understand that.
CDR: And looking at the airglow with the monocular is - Boy, there is another sight now that is not like being in Earth orbit whatsoever. It's - it's a bright red next to the Earth, and then it's got a green band in *t, and then it's got a blue band.
CC: Would you say _hese color bands encircle the Earth now, Pete?
CDR: Yes. But it's not the same all the way around. What I'm seeing is - is sunrise, really. The Sun is - this is about 40 degrees from the Sun, and there's a red - bright red b_nd - and then a sort of a light green band that's very thin, and then a blue one which must be all of the atmosphere.
CC: 12, Houston. Can you still see that bright light about in the center?
CDR: We're - A1 - Al - we rolled so A1 could take the sunrise pictures, and the Sun has pretty well wiped out that view that we had. Now the Sun's started up, and the Earth has turned black again.
CC: GO ahead, 12.
CMP: Paul, does it look like we are going to have an update to our entry PAD - or not, after that burn?
CC: Stand by. I'11 check on it, Dick.
CC: 12, Houston. They want to get a little more tracking on you. It looks good. Some of the - some of the times may change a second or two, but as soon as they get a good track, we'11 send it o:.up.
CMP: Okay. Not pushing, Just curious.
CC: Hello, 12; Houston. If it's not already there, will you select the left VHF antenna, please?
CMP: Roger. Left VF_ antenna.
CC: Okay. And, also, the ground readout of suit pressure dropped to zero a few minutes ago. Will you give us your onboard readout?
CDR: Oh, it sure did. It reads zero also.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 12. I sort of thir_k that time you gave me to start shooting, 2_1:55:20, is the time that the Sun will be completely over the limb of the Earth, and it would be too late then. I've been shooting per ycur instructions for the last 3 or _ minutes. Can you confirm that?
CC: I'11 check on it, Al.
CC: I understand, Al, that you can see the Sun, now. Is that right?
CC: That's affirmative. I've been watching it for about the last h or 5 minutes. I didn't put a clock on it, but I started that sequence you gave me when the Sun started to peek around. I expect that the time I got that came out of the computer was the time when it's going to be fully out.
CC: Okay, Al. Good show.
CC: Apollo 12, Houston. I have your landing area information, if you're interested.
CC: Ok.Ry. The forecast hasn't changed since this morning, Pete. Still calling for good weather; 1800 foot, scsttered, variable, broken, 10 miles; the wind is out of the east at 15; we've got 3-foot waves on top of 5-foot swells, and they're running about h0 degrees apart. The altimeter is 2988, which gives a DELTA-H of plus 38 feet. Your landfng time now looks like 2058 Zulu. Sunrise was at 1612 - Zulu that is, and stunset will be at 0h :2h. There are some widely scattered showers in the area, less than 10 percent. Okay, on the recovery forces, the Hornet's on station. They will have three helos there, ... four of them. Swim i and 2, with swimmers onboard; Recovery 1 for the swimmer and a medic_ and Phctu !. We've also got two E-l's that'11 be airborne - that's A_rboss and Relay ]. We've got two C130's.
