Hurricane season starts soon and some high-tech hurricane hunters were on display at JFK Airport.
-- We're less than a month away from the beginning of hurricane season, and some high-tech hurricane hunters were on display at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Thursday.
"What we're doing here is bringing out our best tools for hurricane forecasting to help people realize that now is the time to start preparing," Rhome said. "As a meteorologist, it doesn't get any better than this, to be honest. Flying into these storms and knowing how many people rely on it, and how it makes our weather models better," said Lt. Col. Jeremy Dehart of the USAF Reserves. "No sir. I've been doing it for 17 years, Cat 1 to Cat 5," said Sgt. Larry Banks III of the USAF Reserves. "I have to say, it's like 90 percent boredom, and 10 percent pure terror," Banks said.
One plane on display has been in service since 1975, and the stickers on its tail tell the tale of its heroic hurricane past, with every storm it has observed, and every country it has covered on display.
