Hurricane Hunters Celebrate Bridge Opening
A WC-130J, flown by the Hurricane Hunters of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, flies over the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge as members of the community celebrate the reopening of structure which was damaged by Hurricane Katrina more than two years ago. The bridge which linked Jackson and Harrison counties on the Mississippi Gulf Coast was traveled by more than 30,000 commuters each day prior to the storm. Two lanes were opened Nov.1 with the rest of the span to be completed by April 2008.
