This really makes someone feel small compared to these massive air flows

Why is there no light in the cockpit that is so weird

dream job, dream plane!

I love the Hurricane Hunters: their flying lab, Kermit on watch duty in the cockpit, the dedicated scientists tracking the weather beasts, and last, but not least, the pilots with nerves of steal. After getting tossed around, the interior of the plane looked like the remnants of a drunken frat party.

how low do you usually fly over the wildlife? does a certain altitude scare them?

Any chance of a music free version ? It would be much better.

You are the true weather heroes putting your lives out there so that the rest of us can be able to maneuver safely around the hurricanes.

I thought lightning was rare in Hurricane clouds

I am so scared when the aircraft just shakes a little in a normal flight. And then there are these people, just fly into a hurricane. Respect.

Looks like flying through a lovecraft hellscape that’s really beautiful.

Literally, this has to be the coolest job in the world!

anyone else get baked to views like this?

That plane must weight a lot with all those balls of steel onboard.

The pilot is skillfull

Just to think the first dudes that flew in to a hurricane did it to settle a bet on how tough an AT-6 was.

These deserve a million followers, so great to watch, plus the editing is top notch not to mention the great music in the background.

God what I would give to be able to work on an airplane in conditions like this.

It might be more interesting to use some more exciting music for this.

If there were another aircraft in that hurricane, would you be able to detect it?

That looks like a lot of fun.

Surprised the crew in the back didn’t have everything strapped down

Flying through this for the first time must be an incredibly freaky feeling

Bangin soundtrack. I want the track list

Flying storm chasers

5:57 is that kanye east? lol

I want the “Tube launcher” job !

4:32 has some amazing flying, look at that artificial horizon being relatively stable

Man look at those paddles. Needs em. It ain't flying, it's swimming through that stuff.

What are the tubes they are dropping?

Terbang untuk ilmu pengetahuan, sangat berani mungkin ini satu-satunya pesawat yang mendekat mata badai di mana pesawat lain menghindarinya

I wonder if they ask you "you're about to fly a perfectly good aircraft into a hurricane, how do you feel?" Like the first time you jump out of a plane they ask "you're about to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, how do you feel?" Lol

Please expect very heavy turbulence

I always wanted to fly these. Before they were nicknamed Kermit and Miss Piggy I got to walk through one of them at an airshow in Homestead Florida and asked the pilot why they used a turboprop aircraft. As I had suspected, it was because they have access to almost instant power from the engines if need be. They keep the 210kt penetration speed this way. Lockheed built some stout airframes here. Glad they were upgraded

Nice landing too

Awesome video and thank you all for your service. This NEVER gets old!

Imagine your job being to find the worst turbulence on the planet, and to fly into it, on purpose....at night. My god. And they look like such a happy bunch of lunatics. I'm in awe.

My grandpa did a short time on P-3C's with VP-45 during his 25 years of service with the Navy. Instead of hunting hurricanes, he was patrolling off the Florida coast hunting submarines.

love the Kermit the Frog windshield hanger 👍💯

The 53rd in Biloxi are the real Hurricane Hunters, NOAA couldn’t come up with their own name

Is there a version we can watch without the music, just the coms?

You guys are Awesome. Thanks for all your hard work and the risks you take. Love those old P3s. Used to work on them in the Navy.

I worked as a Mechanic, Maintenance Inspector and Propulsion Shop Tech for over 2 decades w/ a U.S. Major Commercial Air Carrier and seeing an A/C put up with those flight conditions still astounds me, even though it shouldn't. The fact that these Lockheed WP-3D Orion A/C date back 47 years tells you all you need to know about how thorough A/C maintenance is today and how much they knew about A/C in the mid 70's. Lockheed airframe and Rolls Royce Engines, tough to beat.

I always wondered what the procedure is if something goes wrong and your flying through that hurricane. Like if you crash are you just doa I mean seems like it’s either you make it back or you don’t type situation like submarine crews

Ryan air be like

These are some of the baddest, motherfucking pilots man they’re awesome

I wonder, what happen for sensors/captors dropped once the hurricane is gone ? Are they left in the ocean? Is there a recovering mission?

Normal flight: "CB on ahead, let's evade, to the right" Hurricane Hunter flight: "Now... where's the Hurricane?! Ah there you are, let's get right into it" Awesome flight, stay healthy for all of us & Safety First! Peace across the Globe ✌😉

What amazing views. Makes you wonderwhat else is out there, unexplored.

They really need a professional photographer on board.

I would absolutely love to be on that plane.
