Hurricane hunters on Igor
Master Sgt. Vince Burden annotates the serial number of a dropsonde onboard a WC-130J Hercules over the Atlantic Ocean, while collecting data on Hurricane Igor Sept. 17, 2010, in the Caribbean. The dropsonde is a GPS instrument equipped with a high frequency radio and other sensing devices that measures weather data and relays it back to the aircraft. Sergeant Burden is a loadmaster with the Air Force Reserve Command's 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Michael B. Keller)
