H - 3 minutes and remain on B until after H-hour.
d. VIKING aircraft will maintain assigned altituie at all times
and execute normal orbit pattern so that observers can watch cloud
development,
e.
Commanders of VIKING aircraft may establish whatever time
they desire for departure from the operational area.
However, the departure
plan must be coordinated first with the CIC (BOUNDARY TARE) on WHF Channel
"C",
BOUNDARY TARE will then release the VIKING aircraft concernéd from
the area, with instructions to proceed to its point of first intended
landing as specified by the pilot in his previously filed DD Form 175.
