Wilson 3 was directed to search in the holding pattern from H+2 until released, at an altitude selected by the pilot to clear natural clouds, but
not in excess of 5,000 feet (1.52 km)
(Reference 16, Tab L).
A complete command briefing was held at midnight and all previous factors, advisories, and decisions were confirmed.
It was decided, however,
to recheck the winds at 0430 and just before shot time.
The forecast fall-
out plot given at this briefing is shown in Figure 70.
