Flying Into Major Hurricane Laura with NOAA & USAF

Crews from the U.S. Air Force Reserve 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and #NOAA fly missions into #HurricaneLaura. The Hurricane Hunters flew their specially equipped WC-130J Super Hercules while NOAA used a WP-3D Orion NOAA42 named "Kermit.", both collecting data for the National Hurricane Center to use to create more accurate forecast models.
