AF303 leaving as well

2 of them!?

[Kazmit]

another plane on the runway to head into Eta

Keep 'em coming

Yeah to make up for the earlier mishap.

Mild turbulence gives me a panic attack. These guys are heros.

I have the utmost respect for the pilots that have guts to fly into these storms and provide the meteorological community with vital data. This storm will be studied for years I have a feeling.

[Monsoonjr99]

I didn't personally track Patricia (though I definitely became aware of it once it made history), but this is giving me Patricia vibes.

[Blown Away]

IMO, recon’s timing is perfect, Eta looks breathtaking ATM...

[CrazyC83]

I hope everyone on AF304 is strapped tight with everything locked in place. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime ride.

Yeppers the last flight of the day is still leaving as originally scheduled.

[EquusStorm]

Definitely reminiscent of staying up to watch Patricia recon. Boy what a monster.

[GeneratorPower]

Godspeed to everyone onboard that recon flight—not sure how anyone can have the guts to ride a plane into this monster.

Probably not too bad at higher altitudes.

Nearly down to operational altitude...

What an extraordinary event to watch unfold. Just stunning. The latter portion of this season has certainly erased any deficit of quality systems. Another small extreme storm. a high end tropical tornado.

ACE hand-wringers FOR THE LOSS

BUT THERE WERE NEGATIVE ANOMALIES IN THE ATLANTIC IN MAY

Hopefully this clears the ERC doubts

Higher altitudes are far worse. Flight level winds are always higher than on the surface.

8.4

Very clear secondary eyewall in progress, but doesn't seem to be impeding the inner eyewall yet. That'll change soon.

[FLpanhandle91]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it not as dangerous as one would think (obviously still dangerous), but I read somewhere that since the winds are generally coming from one consistent direction, it's easier for the pilot to correct/compensate.

8.4

That's Patricia level if I remember correctly
