Hurricane Chasers
Hurricane Hunters fly into these tremendous storms to gather weather data to predict its course and strength.
We are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is still rebuilding.
Remember safety is a prime concern. Watch for weather alerts and be prepared.
Hurricane chasing is not for the faint of heart.
Be educated and decide if this is a hobby or a job for you.
Happy Flying,
Kelly and Curt Wissink

- It's true! We fly airplanes right into the eye of the hurricane. This is the place to see unique photos inside the hurricanes. The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, known as the Hurricane Hunters of the Air Force Reserve, is one-of-a-kind: the only Department of Defense organization still flying into tropical storms and hurricanes--since 1944. Our ten Lockheed-Martin WC-130J aircraft and crews are part of the 403rd Wing, based at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Hurricane Hunters on Wikipedia
Hurricane Hunters are aircraft that fly into tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeastern Pacific Ocean for the specific purpose of directly measuring weather data in and around those storms. In the Western Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, the titles of Typhoon Chasers (Air Force) or Typhoon Trackers (Navy) are used for these organizations. In the United States, the Air Force, Navy, and NOAA units have all participated in this mission. Before artificial satellites were used to find storms, the military units flew routine weather reconnaissance tracks to detect formation of tropical cyclones. Although satellite data has revolutionized weather forecasters' ability to detect early signs of tropical cyclones before they form, there are still many important tasks they are not suited for. Satellites cannot determine the interior barometric pressure of a hurricane, nor provide accurate wind speed information.
