Objective and Summary:

Take-off was at 1300 UTC. ER-2 landed at about 1700 UTC.

ER-2 left MSN and flew SW over midwest directly towards DFRC. In route, the ER-2 overflew clear conditions in IA/NE, then some alto cu and cirrus in western NE, and a broad upper level trough with much cloudiness in the Rockies and Intermontaine Basin. No overpass of SSEC. HSRL not operating. AERI on roof at SSEC was operative.
