Rwy Notam is still showing active be interesting if they do another launch later (hot pit maybe ? ) but the WX may well have a say in all of it
In fact that very question just been asked by TWR 246,35,heard the response but could not quite make it out
Sounds like DARK02 is heading out again,02 hold short 27 taxi via bravo
