When is their next visit to Arlene?
BTW, I heard they are flying out of Gulfport right now... not Biloxi -because the airfield is being repaired. (We talked about that yesterday.)

This is the plan from yesterday but the bottom says they will continue 3 hour fixes. I don't know what to make of the long time between flights however.

They will start three hour fixes after the 18z flight since it'll be about 24 hours from land.
