Seems that the C-130s won’t be ready until 2030. Looks like they’re using WP-3D Orion aircraft currently.

Orions are badass in their own right

Well shit, I read the Wikipedia link and some articles from the comment about the NOAA Hurricane Hunters and assumed you were referring to them.

The C-130J you linked from the ADS-B recorder seems to be military. Guess they’ve been using them for a while for storm reconnaissance.

Yeah the post directly mentions the NOAA guys but the Air Force Reserve hurricane hunters are what came to mind my mistake

Oh I didn’t know the Air Force Reserves did that! Though that makes a lot of sense given how it’s surveilling in proximity to the States. Good use of aircraft and brainpower in that pursuit.
