Rain had just passed through as we took off from Keesler on a training mission this morning. The trails off the propeller tips weren’t quite as strong as I expected given the humidity but they still showed up well enough. This is at 960 frames per second… if you shoot for ten seconds it works out to be over five minutes of video.

A thread of videos from today’s flight into Hurricane Melissa In this first one we are entering from the southeast just after sunrise and the bright arc on the far northwest eye wall is the light just beginning to make it over the top from behind us.

Bertha was ~60 miles south of Keesler when we took off this morning at 6am. Closest I can ever recall being to a storm but with convection severely lopsided on the south side of Bertha it wasn’t a big deal… a 🧵 of flying. 1/4 Time lapse from takeoff through the “center”:

Fourth pass through Melissa this morning, another side view due to my hairbrained attempt to shoot 8k video out the front.

Second pass through Hurricane Melissa entering from the southwest side. Passed NOAA in the eye wall as they headed outbound for home. Obviously a very powerful storm but a relatively straightforward one on this flight. Much less nasty meso activity than 36 hours ago.

More/better Hurricane Melissa videos now that the furlough/gov shutdown is over and I can get the go ahead to post revised versions. What was originally posted three weeks ago were quick edits/crops exported in 720p which were good enough but not all that they could be. I will include a link to YT so those inclined can watch in 4K. Today I’m posting thread from pass 5 which was approx 1645-1648Z time. This first one is GoPro Max footage that I finally got around to editing. It starts very similar to the post from a few weeks ago but with a twist. 1/5
