Objective and Summary:

Take-off was at 2100 UTC. ER-2 landed at 0221 UTC (99086).

ER-2 spiraled up from Truax and flew towards DLH. Flew DLH to INL. Skies clear on these legs. Flew INL to YQD (The Pas). At about NW end of L. Winnipeg, ER-2 encountered SCT and BKN mid and high cloud, both cirroform and cumuliform. Proceeded about 50nm beyond YQD in BKN cloud conditions. Some clear holes. After short deviation from outbound line, ER-2 rejoined outbound line and flew same line back to INL. Then flew on past DLH in clear skies where it vectored eastward to Park Fall, WI CO tower and flew an 8 minute leg centered over the tower. Skies clear. Then flew to S. Wisconsin in clear skies and overflew SSEC from east to west, overpassing SSEC at 7:36pm CST. HSRL operating, AERIbago operating, AERI on roof. Classonde launch at 7:00pm.
