Objective and Summary:

Take-off was at 1700 UTC. ER-2 landed at 2110 UTC.

ER-2 flew from Dryden to Boulder CO where it collected a clear sky line of data with AirMISR, then to Denver airport where skies were mostly cloudy and somewhat hazy according to pilot Dave Wright, then flew on to Madison where it landed in low ceilings and fog (ongoing thaw) at about 3:15pm CST. No radiosonde or other ground activities. Skies were clear over S. CA, cirrus and thicker cloud over mountains with breaks, then thick low level cloud over upper midwest.

The ER-2 made it to Madison on schedule despite difficult sky conditions.
