Good thing I checked before sending the newest NOAA message. For comparison purposes:

- This NOAA run (from the northwest) got to the eye about 10 minutes before the AF plane from the northeast.
- While the AF plane reported 122-knot winds in the NE quad (which was down 3 from the previous NOAA run), this NOAA run found 133-knot winds in the NW quad (up 8 from the previous run and 11 from the concurrent AF run).
- Pressure is down 1 mb from the last measurement (the AF extrapolation doesn't count).
- There is now disagreement between NOAA and the AF on the eyewall composition. The AF is reporting a single eyewall 16 nm wide, while NOAA is reporting a double eyewall 18 and 48 nm wide.

In that case- only one question remains- which one of them stayed at a Holiday Inn last night?

Who wins in that matchup?
