Finally, success

Today was another early morning, starting with a 0250 wakeup call. I launched at sunrise for an FCF on the aircraft we've been struggling to get fixed for a couple weeks. Our masterful mechanics finally nailed it today, and we returned to the ship 2 hours later as an "up" aircraft. Enjoyed a little breakfast after our debrief, then I took a brief nap. I managed to get a run in this afternoon as well. Overall, a pretty slow day, but rewarding after finishing what has been a painful FCF. Tomorrow morning, for the first time in over a month (except during the port call) we don't have an FCF on the schedule! Today we are 2/3 of the way done with cruise. I'll feel better when we are eastward bound again, but we're making progress. That's about all for today.
