It looks like 11 is encountering widespread ground fog.
00:04
We have poor conditions on the ground and we're unable to get spray.
00:08
We're looking for some alternate routes around it but it's too widespread.
00:12
We're going to be unable to make it.

We're going to have to cancel that C-call and head back to base.

Come forward and pull nose in into the parking lot.
00:31
If you can see my current position on the map right now, we're about to start flying over the fog, so Prineville Airport would be the best thing we can do right now.
00:45
Sorry, can you confirm the identifier for that airport?
00:52
Prineville Airport identifier is Sierra Three-Niner.
00:57
And that's the farthest west we could get from the scene.

I'll check with Ground and see if they want to rendezvous or what they want to do, but I'll show you canceling for unable to get the scene at this time.

03:13
Did it look like an aircraft coming from another direction? We might be able to get the scene.
03:22
I would say no.
03:25
Coming from the west unknown.
03:27
Coming from the east unknown, potentially.
03:29
It was so widespread that I could see the end of it.
03:32
So if there's a crop that are east.
03:34
Potentially, the weather report that I got at the scene with it, the skies were clear.
03:40
So there is a potential that someone from the east could get there, but from the north or the west, I would say it's no-go.
03:50
Eventually from the east, I copy that and I will see you return to base at this time.
03:55
They are not looking to rendezvous at Sierra Three-Niner.
