Anyone with input is helpful. I use these images for my recon tracking (thus posting here).
Also, anyone think we might be able to lobby these
guys to do these GE files for us?

FWIW, you can get satellite floaters from NRL. Just click on that fancy little red icon labelled "KML" next to Bertha's name. When the track loads up, click on the latest plot and you should be able to load up an image. It includes both GOES-12 and polar obriting satellite images.

You should be able to double click on the latest hurricane symbol. A box should appear listing a BUNCH of satellite images. Toward the top, there should should be the latest GOES-12 image. Click on the word Infrared. That should get the image to load up.
(Hopefully that works..)

we can't.... we haven't stood up Bermuda... and we can't fly an operational tasking without a spare aircraft.

See that 309 doing the duty again.....back to back long endurance trips...speaks well for the bird and mtc.

We have clearance to land in Bermuda if needed... It is over 2 hours to get to the nearest possible divert bases (Cherry Point MCAS, Pope AFB, Langley AFB, Norfolk NAS, Hunter AAF, Patrick AFB, Charleston AFB) On all oceanic trips we are all required to carry our passports and clearance forms just incase.
Ocean is the LAST resort... if we can make it into an international airport/air base we absolutely will... 40million dollar aircraft gone if we land in the water... and worse, loss of life... (there has ONLY been one C130 to successfully land in the ocean... Venezuelan AF C130).
