Damn, you let me down. You sound like complete brainwashed moron with the doomsday cult of climate change incantations of. "rising and warming seas". Do you even bother to check the actual claims these sick green communists make? Taking only one source (IPCC) is plain stupid and it doesn't matter how many channels they use to propagate their cult belief. Do some research in old data that were not "normalized" aka not tampered with and you will find the hurricanes are the same as before, the climate is COLDER than it used to be 1000 years ago, that greenland is ice covered now, that the seas are same as before and that there is only 00.04% of CO2 in the air which is barely enough to sustain life. That stuff is incredibly scarce and it's heavier than air so there is no "green house" effect because it doesn't act as insulation. Further more earth doesn't have perfectly balanced energy source with stable energy output and the orbit is not perfectly circular or perfectly stable. Yes, there will be fluctuations in weather as it always been and most of it caused by plate tectonics that shift ocean currents, solar output variations and changes in orbit. You should know these basics. Damn, you dissapointed me.
Why would I trust a sponsor you use when you lie about hurricanes increasing in strength when the actual data debunks that. I am a climatologist and you need to take down this video. Also, NORD is a scam. It does BOTY WORK
I was a part of the WP-3D re-wing effort. Those planes are so incredible. Plus, there's actually not really much structural reinforcement over and above what a P-3C has over the P-3A/B. Iirc, the new wings we put on were just regular old P-3C wings. Those planes are just so robust and overbuilt (relative to their operational weight) that there's just nothing that can truly replace them (lb for lb). C-130s are a solid option for sure, but they are so much more structurally optimized (to carry more weight with essentially the same engines), that their excess margins of safety just arent as high as the P-3. That issue can somewhat be resolved by simply restricting the operational weight if the C-130 so that it "can" survive in the same flight envelopes that the P-3 inherently can, but thats way less fun. Nobody wants to get a hot new toy and be told they can't use it at its max capacity. I'm keenly interested in what they will do to replace Kermit and Miss Piggy when the time comes. Also, Miss Piggy doesnt have the barber pole either. Thats how you can tell them apart. Fun fact, they actually have a 3rd WP-3D (N44RF?) which is a non-operational parts bird which used to be called Gonzo I think before it was retired and the name was given to a Gulfstream? IIRC, that plane DOES have the barber pole. I forget the story behind why that plane is not airworthy. I want to say it's because of "widespread fatigue damage" which was not financially viable to repair. That was 8 years ago though so my memory is a little fuzzy.
I always wondered about the design of the P-3. On one hand, the engineers did am absolutely fantastic job designing a near-indestructible plane. On the other hand, they somehow managed to make it look like the most generic plane ever. It's like someone read a book on "how to build a 4 engine aeroplane" and skipped right over the chapter on how to give it a character or any distinct features.
@@ReneSchickbauer One of the reasons the P-3 is so tough is that it was basically a Lockheed Electra airliner, which in its original form had a structural weakness in its outer engine nacelles. The engine mounts could get damaged and allow the engine to vibrate in a way that would couple to the wing, hitting a resonant frequency that would cause the wing to disintegrate. At least two Electras disintegrated in midair before they figured out what the problem was. The fix involved beefing up the the engine mounting structure to make it more rigid, and strengthening the wing structure. All Electras, including the Navy's P-3s, got retrofitted with the structural changes, making them significantly stronger than they were originally.
@@drtidrow yes, it was called the "whirling mode" and the fix was retrofitted onto earlier P-3A's but the nacelle design was updated by the time the P-3C's were in production to preclude the whirling mode altogether.
You're not going to move buildings out of the way. Money would be better spent building structures that can better withstand the winds, flooding and flying debris.
@@jd9119 Structures can be replaced. That's what insurance is for. Flying planes through hurricanes is about saving lives. (And, btw, "better structures" go on so far, because the wind itself is only a small part of the story. To quote: "It's not that the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing").
Going back the "old days" when most multi-engine aircraft had a third person in the cockpit - the flight engineer, whose job was to look after the engines, manage the fuel (and, at more restful moments, provide the pilots with much needed refreshments).
I think an important fact about the nature of hurricanes is relevant. While a hurricane is a single, organized, ginormous storm, on a smaller scale, it's made up of spirals of individual thunderstorms. Which can be navigated through/around/between. Flying almost any airplane directly into a thunderstorm will likely result in structural failure (and loss) of that airplane. But threading your way through lines of thunderstorms by flying around individual storms can be done. I have done it. Due to lack of alternatives (aka, insufficient fuel) on a flight from Guantanamo to Norfolk. We threaded our way between 2 lines of thunderstorms off the east coast and, obviously, lived. But I was scared shitless and I'd never intentionally fly directly into any single thunderstorm. Unless I had a pre-existing fatal disease (with consequent limited life expectancy) and excellent life insurance. On the ramp at Norfolk NAS, I kissed the ground. The only time I've ever kissed concrete.
When I was a young officer training at Kessler AFB in Mississippi during the late 1980’s I was able to talk my way on a flight with the famous 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron. We went through a category 1 hurricane, Jerry (I remember the name, it’s my brother’s name). I have never experienced such turbulence before or after that flight. I was the butt of crew jokes because it was mild compared to Hugo which was a Cat 5 a month earlier..
My Dad used to be a US Naval Aircrewman who was in anti-submarine warfare missions out of Florida back in the 60's, & his crew did a hurricane flight once because they were rated on the same kind of plane that was used for the task. 🤯
Thanks for the propeller vs jet explanation. Seems it would ALSO be an advantage to take readings at 250- 300 mph vs 500 mph and that a severe wind shear would also be more survivable at the lower speed
Hey, Paul. I hoping you’re doing well. If you read this comment, I believed it would be a really cool dedicated video covering the Northrop and Grumman B-2 Stealth Bomber. You have briefly discussed small bits about it it in previous videos regarding other aircraft. If you have the interest in making a video on it that is. Keep up the great work!
There's a town in Utah settled by the Mormons called "Hurricane" specifically pronounced the same as in this video as apposed to the typical American pronunciation. I take it that is the typical British pronunciation. I realize this is most likely because the many of the pioneers were British isle emigrants.
@MrSlipstreem That's funny because I've only ever heard British people pronounce it as "hurrican," as in this video. With that said, it must be a regional thing, and I just have only heard British people from whatever region it is who pronounce it that way. LOL!
Johnny Harris, formerly of Vox, has a great channel on geopolitics here on TH-cam. He’s also a former Mormon and made a really informative two-part video series about the history of the LDS (Mormon) church. The most interesting thing I learned from the series is how successful Mormon missionaries were in Great Britain during the 19th Century, which why so many Mormons can trace their ancestry to 19th Century Great Britain.
9:58 The main reason for them being propeller driven is throttle response. Turbofan engines take time to spool up and down, whereas propellers spin up at a moments notice, kind of like gas stoves vs. resistance stoves.
These guys know they are going into Hurricane and yet the video shows that, apparently, they have a bunch of lose stuff in bins that, not surprisingly goes flying all over the place. Shouldn't these bins be more secured? NOAA has only been doing this for 50 years. 😂
"But now I'm safe in the eye of a tornado I can't replace the lies that let a thousand days go No more living trapped inside, in her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado, blow me away" 🎸😜
Hurricane Milton, Oct 9, 2024. Claimed to be Category 2-3 when it hit Florida. Will someone please show me one single weather reporting station, like an airport, NOAA buoy, etc., that reported hurricane force winds? For Category 1 hurricane, the lowest, that would be 64 knots sustained wind (1 minute or 10 minute)
The winds at ground/water level are greatly reduced by turbulence. The winds aloft are so much higher. There were many tornadoes in the outer bands all over south Florida during Milton even though they were many miles from the landfall.
I am glad my kids will never have to be 'warned' about 'mother nature' coming their way in the form of some horrible storm. Or in any other form (ultimately the grim reaper). I love my kids so much I never had them you see.
Living in Louisiana, I've seen and witnessed my fair share of hurricanes in my 65 years. I would say the path predictions have become increasingly accurate, especially in the last 10 years. Intensity accuracy is much better but still a bit of a crap shoot. The hardest to predict accurately seem to be storm surge. At current those are a joke at best. Hopefully, those will improve overtime.
Yes, they do. I live just off-base & they’ve had one of the planes open & on display during the last 2 air shows on base. It’s certainly not much for privacy though. 😂
You left out N49RF. Their G-IV flies on as many or more of the hurricane missions as the WP-3Ds. They have a G550 due to start service in 2025 and another in 2028.
Incredible none of them are wearing helmets. I'm sure they know better than me, but man it'd suck to deal with a head injury flying through a hurricane!

i had always thought the pilots don’t need to risk the plane frame too much because they fly at high altitude up and over the whole thing? then drop down into the eye and take measurements and but briefly experience all of the turbulence? i really do not know that is just what i assumed given the nature of the storms. sounds like he said they fly through the storm the whole way?
Air cowboys riding the kangaroo.. how that plane gets off the ground with the size of there balls. Plus all that fuel. But we owe a great debt to the people serving in this branch. They know it’s just as deadly as it is important.. They probably have some awesome stories
Don't forget the X9 CME that hit earth just before Milton formed. The correlation between flares and Hurricanes appears to be substantial. Interesting prop. blade shape on the NOAA planes, I assume that also serves some purpose?
@@NoSTs123 Seems like you're just repeating learned phrase without understanding it. What else could the relationship be if it's not causal? Be specific.
@@sruz25cz So you think that a Solar Flare hitting the magnetic field of the Earth influences weather? The Correlation is not relevant. Mass ejecta of the sun do not create hurricanes. Talk to any meterologist and ask them how what happens in the ionosphere during sun activity could influence formation of Hurricanes and they will explain to you that there is no connection. Dont believe everything the people that didnt go to university to study the Meterology or Physics tell you in their podcasts about the waether.
@@NoSTs123 So it's as I said. You have no understanding of what "correlation isn't causation" is and what it is not. There are generally 3 explanations for strong correlation: a) Direct causal relationship b) Indirect causal relationship (=common variable but no direct causal link) c) Unrelated phenomena guided by the same pattern (think two different, unrelated sinusoidal oscillations with identical frequency and phase) In this case, given the way the phenomena correlate, they are too irregular on their own for c) to be plausible. Both, a) and b) fall outside of what conventional meteorology has to offer, so it would improve prediction power of the models. Additionally, there isn't much else in space that could conceivably provide an explanation that falls under b), so a) is the most likely. You have nothing but appeal to authority and to phrases that you do not understand. The idea that there could be a connection between solar activity and earthquakes also used to be mocked by experts - until ups, turns out it actually might be real and Italy with Japan considered it credible enough to spend money on a satellite to study it.

No, last time you said it was a category 1, it turned out to be a 5, and we flew through multiple tornadoes.

But we owe a great debt to the people serving in this branch.
They know it’s just as deadly as it is important..
They probably have some awesome stories
always interesting
God please save our Country!
I don't think I will called C-130 a newer aircraft.
"Newer" is a relative term.
Has a nuclear submarine ever surfaced in the eye of a hurricane?
Absolutely
time for drone.
Drones can do this
Why not?
For guys that fly into hurricanes for a living, they don’t really tie many things down do they 😂 “dramatic effect”
In circles?
Don't forget the X9 CME that hit earth just before Milton formed. The correlation between flares and Hurricanes appears to be substantial.
Interesting prop. blade shape on the NOAA planes, I assume that also serves some purpose?
Correlation does not mean Causation...
@@NoSTs123 Seems like you're just repeating learned phrase without understanding it.
What else could the relationship be if it's not causal? Be specific.
@@sruz25cz So you think that a Solar Flare hitting the magnetic field of the Earth influences weather?
The Correlation is not relevant.
Mass ejecta of the sun do not create hurricanes.
Talk to any meterologist and ask them how what happens in the ionosphere during sun activity could influence formation of Hurricanes and they will explain to you that there is no connection.
Dont believe everything the people that didnt go to university to study the Meterology or Physics tell you in their podcasts about the waether.
@@NoSTs123 So it's as I said. You have no understanding of what "correlation isn't causation" is and what it is not.
There are generally 3 explanations for strong correlation:
a) Direct causal relationship
b) Indirect causal relationship (=common variable but no direct causal link)
c) Unrelated phenomena guided by the same pattern (think two different, unrelated sinusoidal oscillations with identical frequency and phase)
In this case, given the way the phenomena correlate, they are too irregular on their own for c) to be plausible. Both, a) and b) fall outside of what conventional meteorology has to offer, so it would improve prediction power of the models. Additionally, there isn't much else in space that could conceivably provide an explanation that falls under b), so a) is the most likely.
You have nothing but appeal to authority and to phrases that you do not understand. The idea that there could be a connection between solar activity and earthquakes also used to be mocked by experts - until ups, turns out it actually might be real and Italy with Japan considered it credible enough to spend money on a satellite to study it.
Very interesting - thank you.
Weather data.
*Any relatives of Typhoon Goons here?*
this video did not do well...
men AND WOMEN .... wtf Bro?
Its a team effort in our USAF.
Glad you changed the thumbnail. Dislike removed.
Is it really that dangerous? I’ve never heard of one of these things going down and they apparently do it all the time.
Considering you are peddling the usual climate change line, perhaps your channel could be renamed curious drone???
