This is a must see cycloneye. I got to tour a J model a couple of years ago at the air show at Keesler AFB. The most notable changes are the all glass flight deck and new propellers.......MGC

Luis:

Take some pics if you can. If you have a digital, or can get access to one, send me some pics if you are able to. Look me up on my site or in my profile. I'd love to hear about your visit with the plane and its crew. I could post some photos on my site along with your account of the visit.

Say hello to Max for me if you get a chance to.

I believe there was a Hurricane Hunter Plane at Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts in the mid or late '90's.

I heard a statement mentioning it on my NOAA Weather Radio. :)
