In a daring and risky mission, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Aircraft Operations Center has released harrowing footage of a research plane flying directly into Hurricane Milton. The video, captured from the passenger side window of the Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft, shows the plane being tossed around violently by heavy turbulence and blistering rain.
The footage, which has been described as a “bumpy ride into Hurricane #Milton,” showcases the sheer power and intensity of the storm as the plane navigates through the ominous gray sky. Despite the chaos and danger, the brave crew aboard “Miss Piggy” remained composed and focused on collecting valuable data to better understand and predict the behavior of hurricanes.
This bold mission demonstrates the dedication and bravery of the scientists and crew who risk their lives to gather crucial information that can save lives and improve our understanding of these powerful natural phenomena. The video serves as a reminder of the incredible work that these individuals do in the face of extreme conditions and danger.
