Recap of EOSS-96/97
On this flight, the prediction was made the evening prior to flight and it turned out to be pretty inaccurate. Just for my own edification, I obtained the actual winds data I would have used Saturday morning to make a prediction just prior to flight. As you will note, even a morning updated forecast wouldn't have made all that much difference. Here is what that prediction would have looked like.
