Would you dare to fly in the eye of a hurricane in the midst of its intense gusts of wind and incessant downpours?
That's the job of the daring pilots of the Navy, Air Force and NOAA who, every time a cyclone forms, defy gravity and the elements to study these phenomena closely.
The information collected by the hurricane hunting planes is what is then used by meteorologists to issue their forecasts of the cyclone's track and intensity.
