98-5307 —
A pair of USAF WC-130J Hercules "Hurricane Hunters" are buttoned up for an overnight stay at RNO.
Comments
There was a Kentucky Air Guard Hercules ramped just to the left of 98-5307 but its visit was not related to the visit of these two Weather Group Hercs.
Very nice! 2 are better than 1!
I've been away for a few days 350 miles further north on the coast at YBNA, but that's a beautiful shot to come home to Gary!
Nice evening sky photo Gary.........
Beautiful shot Gary. Would these guys be working on "Hurricane " duties up in NV, or just a training flight??
Effective composition.
Darryl, Chris, Ken, and Skylab ... TY very much for your complis. Zimbo >>> Thanx. They are here for a few weeks (thru most of February and perhaps into early March) doing studies of the "Atmospheric River." The "Atmospheric River" comes off the Pacific Ocean .. of course, it varies ... and has a huge influence on west coast weather; especially along central CA and Oregon, and subsequently into the Sierra Nevada and then OVER that mountain range and into Nevada. This winter, through almost all of January, we had temps in the 50s and no precip ... and then the Atmospheric River shifted and last week we had three storms, all of which dumped snow in the Sierra and one that even dropped snow on Reno and northern Nevada. So, during the "off season" for hurricanes, they are here studying this A River. Understanding it better will aid in more accurate weather forecasting for the entire country (because often the weather we get here moves east). When Hurricane season returns, these Hercs will return to their home stations. (Wave)
Gary, Thanks for that....After I posted the question, I hoped that it wouldn't be regarded as a stupid question!!
