TEAL78 #AE0111 has headed south to take a close up look at #HurricaneHilary
TEAL99 #AE04A1 remains at Santa Maria where they flew into on Friday.
Not great ADSB coverage on any of the tracking sites down that way and I don't believe they use any SATCOM tracking so we just have to wait and see when they come back.
