Talk:Hurricane hunters

message: Out of curiosity, are all hurricane hunter aircraft propeller type planes, or are there hurricane hunter planes that use jet engines? TomStar81 08:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Have any hurricane hunters ever crashed and died?
Yes, When the original Navy Hurricane Hunters were assigned the weather reconnaisance mission, they lost a P2V7 Neptune aircraft in 1955 while penetrating hurricane Janet.  Last report from the aircraft indicated they were beginning penetration.  No further reports were received.
There is in fact no mention of Navy Hurricane Hunters (VW-4 and predecessors), and scant mention of Typhoon Trackers (VW-1), both of which played major roles in hurricane hunting for many years. (And this is coming from an Air Force guy.)--Buckboard 11:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: No mention is made in the article of whether these flights are manned or unmanned. I'd suspect they're manned. Misterdoe (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I hope you plan to expand it, because with the amount of content it has right now, anyone can sweep in and delete it.  Normally, you need a much larger chunk of content to split off a new article, which then allows you to summarize what was in the former parent article.  Thegreatdr (talk) 18:25, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Can someone show exactly what data comes out of those missions and confirm that those are actually useful (cannot be obtained by satellites)? Or these flights are just performed for "fun"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.99.103.102 (talk) 20:17, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Satellites and surface equipment can't get even a small fraction of the data obtained by the USAF and NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft.  Their flights have resulted in huge improvements in modeling and forecasting tropical storms and have been credited for saving lives in storm paths.  A brief description is here:

replies: text: Hurricane hunters →  – To circumvent the plural. This page was formerly named "Hurricane Hunters" after the namesake 53rd WRS and NOAA Hurricane Hunters. In 2017 an editor correctly noted that the term is not a proper noun in the general sense and had it moved accordingly. 
Hurricane hunters is ambiguous (misdirecting readers seeking the 53rd WRS page). I'm open to alternatives. "Aerial" is inclusive of weather balloons, which might make this a bit of a frankenstein article. Is "hurricane hunting" as recognizable "storm chasing?"
