True. What you might call an extended transit.

Have a look at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=167195 and viewtopic.php?f=8&t=167258

Notam from 55N 10W on Monday opens at 1014Z; it takes around an hour to reach that point I believe so you'd need to be LHZ by around 1000 local time.

Edit: correction, 'Mimku' is 56N 10W. Apologies. .

Starting to look a bit unlikely for an MA/ Oregon departure today now?
