Hello everyone, and welcome to my next group flight event! The 53rd weather reconnaissance squadron, also known as the ‘Hurricane Hunters’, have been around for almost 80 years now. Their job of flying into the eye of a storm remains a crucial factor in gaining information about a Hurricane. Without the information gathered during these flights, we wouldn’t know how strong a Hurricane is, or where it would hit. Come join me for this awesome Hurricane-hunting group flight!
