MAY GOLF OUTING: CANCELLED
STANDARD DEBRIEF ITEMS: LAST FLIGHT LEG (18 Feb 2020):
February's dinner meeting was held at the WPAFB Club. AN excellent buffet dinner of Beef Stroganoff and Fried Shrimp was followed by a presentation by Lt Col (ret) Frank Delsing, who briefed us on the WC-130J "Hurricane Hunter test program. They were testing heavy precipitation fixes to the propellers and radar improvements. Lt Col Delsing flew into 3 hurricanes, Hurricane Katrina being one of them. That huge storm had a well-defined eye of 7-8 miles diameter. There were numerous questions from the flight members, and all enjoyed the presentation
