This Is How It Looks Inside A Hurricane Hunter Plane Flying Through Hurricane Polo’s Eye At 210 Knots

The cabin of a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft shakes as the crew flies through Hurricane Polo’s fierce eye at 210 knots.

The video shows the crew inside NOAA P-3 “Kermit” as the aircraft navigates through the hurricane. The flight engineer monitors the aircraft’s engines and uses the power levers to help maintain a steady airspeed of 210 knots.

The NOAA crew is conducting missions into Hurricane Polo to collect vital data that helps improve forecasts and supports rapid intensification research.
