Hurricane awareness

A little Hurricane Hunter fan from Cozumel, Mexico, poses with 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron members Capt. Jordan Metzer, pilot, Capt. Jared Hamlin, pilot, Maj. Eileen Bundy, aerial reconnaissance weather officer, Lt. Col. Jon Talbot, chief ARWO, and Senior Airman Gary Bryant, 403rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crewchief. More than 500 locals toured the WC-130J, which was on display as part of the CHAT. The outreach program, which began in the 1970's and is a joint effort between National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center and the 403rd Wing's 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, promotes hurricane awareness and preparedness throughout the Caribbean region.
