Hurricane Dodger: Storm Hunter

Others evacuate. You fly in. Hurricane Dodger puts you in the cockpit of a four-engine reconnaissance plane on the most dangerous job in aviation: flying straight into hurricanes to collect the data that saves lives on the coast. FLY REAL RECON PATTERNS Fly the Alpha pattern across the storm, sweep the coastline for damage, or trace the Box pattern around the core. Drop dropsondes at the marked points and log live wind and pressure readings. SURVIVE IN-FLIGHT EMERGENCIES Engine faults, hydraulic failures, lightning strikes, icing and sudden downdrafts. Meet the aerial tanker, catch airdropped parts, and keep your airframe flying. PUNCH THROUGH THE EYEWALL Plot your entry on the chart, pick the calmest sector, then throttle through the wall of wind before your fuel runs out. FLY INSIDE THE EYE Break through into sudden silence and a circle of blue sky. Hold the drifting storm center while the vortex pushes you back toward the wall, and watch the live vortex analysis chart build as you fly. RARE DISCOVERIES Birds trapped in the eye, a rainbow glory around your shadow, stars at night, mesovortices, and a view of the whole storm from orbit. Collect them all in your Eye Log.
