minus-squareKamikazeRusher@lemm.eecakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·24 days agoSeems that the C-130s won’t be ready until 2030. Looks like they’re using WP-3D Orion aircraft currently.

minus-squareKamikazeRusher@lemm.eecakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·24 days agoWell shit, I read the Wikipedia link and some articles from the comment about the NOAA Hurricane Hunters and assumed you were referring to them. The C-130J you linked from the ADS-B recorder seems to be military. Guess they’ve been using them for a while for storm reconnaissance.
minus-squareSomeAmateur@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·24 days agoYeah the post directly mentions the NOAA guys but the Air Force Reserve hurricane hunters are what came to mind my mistake
minus-squareKamikazeRusher@lemm.eecakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·24 days agoOh I didn’t know the Air Force Reserves did that! Though that makes a lot of sense given how it’s surveilling in proximity to the States. Good use of aircraft and brainpower in that pursuit.
