Whenever a significant weather system looks to make landfall, the 53rd Reconnaissance Squadron of the United States Air Force Reserves has a job.
Simply known as "Hurricane Hunters," the unique team from the U.S. Air Force Reserves spent the weekend flying into the eye of what is now Tropical Storm Hilary; at the time of their flights, it was as strong as a Category 4 hurricane.
Headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi, the squadron recently flew off the Pacific Coast at the start of the year, flying over atmospheric rivers headed to the Bay Area. To get the data, the Hurricane Hunters must fly through the eye of the hurricane. However, on this flight, they had trouble finding the eye.
