![]() | On 7 November 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Aerial weather reconnaissance. The result of the discussion was no consensus. |
Out of curiosity, are all hurricane hunter aircraft propeller type planes, or are there hurricane hunter planes that use jet engines? TomStar81 08:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Have any hurricane hunters ever crashed and died? Yes, When the original Navy Hurricane Hunters were assigned the weather reconnaisance mission, they lost a P2V7 Neptune aircraft in 1955 while penetrating hurricane Janet. Last report from the aircraft indicated they were beginning penetration. No further reports were received.
There is in fact no mention of Navy Hurricane Hunters (VW-4 and predecessors), and scant mention of Typhoon Trackers (VW-1), both of which played major roles in hurricane hunting for many years. (And this is coming from an Air Force guy.)--Buckboard 11:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
"One U.S. aircrew has been lost in duty since such missions began in 1943" is incorrect, as it doesn't include Swan_38. Or does this article only cover the two current Hurricane Hunter units? If so, that's rather confusing since the Swan 38 article includes a link to this one. 8.19.241.10 ( talk) 14:55, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
The two P-3 NOAA aircraft are named Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy the Gulfstream IV is named Gonzo after the Muppet's by Jim Henson. You can see the article and images [1]- Wxweenie91 ( talk) 01:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
No mention is made in the article of whether these flights are manned or unmanned. I'd suspect they're manned. Misterdoe ( talk) 16:29, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
No consensus - five months since proposal, and no new discussion since then - BillCJ ( talk) 10:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This article covers two things at present:
Two separate concepts here so two separate articles. The one on the concept can go into the whole concept of aerial recon and its history. The one on the planes can give the details of the squadrons and their histories.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 02:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Should the article be singular or plural? Someone just moved it to the singular title, but I think this is a rare exception where it should be plural. It refers to the group of people on the flight, so it can't ever be just "Hurricane Hunter". And, am I the only one thinking that could get confused as a storm name? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 19:25, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Can someone show exactly what data comes out of those missions and confirm that those are actually useful (cannot be obtained by satellites)? Or these flights are just performed for "fun"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.99.103.102 ( talk) 20:17, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Hurricane hunters → Aerial weather reconnaissance – To circumvent the plural. This page was formerly named " Hurricane Hunters" after the namesake 53rd WRS and NOAA Hurricane Hunters. In 2017 an editor correctly noted that the term is not a proper noun in the general sense and had it moved accordingly.
Hurricane hunters is ambiguous (misdirecting readers seeking the 53rd WRS page). I'm open to alternatives. "Aerial" is inclusive of weather balloons, which might make this a bit of a frankenstein article. Is " hurricane hunting" as recognizable " storm chasing?"
