Highway 3-2, clear land and we are four miles, four miles final, 18 over. The iconic 536, just the advice, it was a plus 10 right at about 500 feet. The iconic 536 ground, confirmed you said plus 10 at 500 feet. Where did it change for you? Yeah, it was a... Plus 10, right at about 500 feet, and right at 200 feet, it kind of cheered a little bit to headwind. Iconic 536, Roger, and confirm you'd characterize that as a wind shear event? Yeah, definitely. Iconic 536, thank you. And did you happen to have the loss number? I would say we lost up maybe three to five knots. Iconic 536, Roger, thank you. And say again, type aircraft. It's a challenger of 300. And with the wind shear, it's reported, loss of five knots below 200. As 18 November night's landing, turn right next Thanksgiving, contact Ground.0.99.
