I wrote on Friday, June 1st about the official start of the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season, where I discussed NOAA's hurricane hunter aircraft. Today I want to mention the C-130J hurricane hunter aircraft flown by the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the 403rd Wing. You may want to read about their WC-130J Hercules Aircraft and the special equipment used on their WC-130Js.
Here is a 10 minute video about the WC-130J Hercules Hurricane Hunters, it is dear to my heart because they are talking about flying Super Storm Sandy.
