That´s there job. Fly in measure wind speed, rainfall etc.. take radar pictures and fly out. People have been doing this for almost as long as there are airplanes. Some where lost but mostly it goes fine.
I think some of you are missing the point of my post. It's a joke about how brave the people that do this work are, not questioning what or why they do it.
DarthZak hurricane winds blow horizontally while thunderstorm wind blows vertically which is what creates the Lightning. So flying in a thunderstorm is technically easier in my opinion since the plane won't be getting pulled to the side
@@GueVonez they are; its a special version of the P3 recon aircraft used to chase storms and used to fly into them. They also have a military version of a Gulfstream G4 for high altitude atmosphere testing. They use these P3s in the clouds and eye because the rain can flame out the jet engine of the G4 due to its intake. The G4 is also more vulnerable to wind changes at low speeds while gathering data. This is what they use to predict its path.
@@profligatepassages Yup, a WC130J to be exact and we've only ever lost one of them. They are badass but also hurricanes aren't really that rough of a ride due to wind direction.

julian huertas not necessarily, but in regards to the high probability of hail in the updrafts and then sudden down drafts in such a storm it would certainly be a sketchy event with so
@@julianhuertas8909 _"Turboprops because a regular jet engine would shut down"_ Turboprops _are_ turbine engines just like a "regular" jet engine. They use turboprops mainly for fuel efficiency (allowing longer time on station) and the slower speed (allowing more data collection).
@@Plisken65 no it isn't, it's flying 400mph relative to the 100mph wind, if there is a headwind then it is 300mph, if there is a tailwind then it is 500mph, because it isn't connected to the ground, to the airplane it's all the same as 400mph
Simply beautiful. Coming through one wall and immediately seeing the other wall, with clear skies in between. Would've been an awesome but freaky experience.
Most of you who fly have probably been in winds of a similar speed to a hurricane. A 787 self generates a 500 knot wind over the airframe and flys in jet-streams that can easily be 200 mph.The reason you don't notice is because a 200 mph wind at 35000 feet generates a fraction of the force of the same wind at ground level due to the large drop in air pressure at cruising altitudes.This P3 is in no danger from the wind speed, only rapid changes in wind speed which would cause turbulence.
Connor Brown they can’t use standard jet engines because the blades would be ripped apart, Turbo prop jet engines deliver the power needed for proper flight and angle of attack to enter the eye wall.
I’m actually close to that I live near Houston Texas. But they’re saying it’s going more towards Louisiana but if it doesn’t turn it’s coming towards us.
It's because of these people is why we know so much about hurricanes or any other storms. We can predict, calculate, and develop early warnings because of brave people like them to study them personally. Amazing.
I remember the 3 hurricanes that hit florida back in 04 right when I moved there. My GF and I didn't even have an apartment yet, we were staying in a hotel and the eye of the hurricane passed over us, it was so tranquil compared to the rest of the storm (obviously) but I remember looking out the hotel door up at the sky and literally seeing the circle, it was so surreal and weird. 1st time I had experienced hurricanes.
Interviewer: "References?" Pilot Applicant: "Um just a few acquaintances. Let me see, there's Irma, Matthew, Michael, Katrina, Andrew and a few others I may be leaving out."
I will never forget when they aired this 5 years ago. I was so fascinated at the pilot’s bravery to give us this perspective on how amazing weather is!
I would love to be dropped off in the middle of the eye in a speed boat and race the storm to shore and avoid the whole thing entirely. Although gas would be an issue.
God bless hurricane hunters, they save lives. If it wasn't for them we couldn't know the path of any hurricanes. May God always protect and keep them all safe. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The other day I was thinking about the feasibility of flying a plane in the eye of a hurricane, but I didn’t think to look up if anyone’s done it until now. This is super cool and I wish I could do it but it’s probably ridiculously hard to get that job, so I think I’ll stick to flying in normal weather
according to my knowledge....eye of storm is in ground level and it is most powerful and pressurized while the cloud portion is less effective and pilot can survive in the tornadoes upper portion but not in the middle portion and ground level and another amazing fact is cyclones are not forms in equator but the corolis force is 0
i was an intern on this plane when this video was shot. the reason everyone is so quiet is because one of our engines went out and we were all terrified that having only one engine wouldn't be enough through that storm.
It's interesting how an Orion is able to withstand powerful windspeed but I think the Orion is built tough because it's operated in four turbo prop engines.
Never ceases to amaze at the marvel of a hurricane where you can go from hell on earth to a perfect calm with blue sky in the blink of an eye. (pun intended!)

Hurricanes are much safer to fly in rather then thunderstorms. The hurricane winds are direction while thunderstorms are all over the damn place.

A short drop and a sudden stop for kermit, obviously he couldn't take any more turbulence, he looked even greener than usual.

Bear Jew wrong , the only reason turbo props are preferred is due to hail in such an environment. A chance of hail indigestion is the only risk .
