The Hurricane Hunters answer the call to an early kickoff of this year's hurricane season, which arrived nearly a month early with the development of Subtropical Storm Andrea May 9 off the coast of Georgia. This year, the WC-130J Hercules will be equipped with the Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer, which allows the Hurricane Hunters to constantly measure surface winds directly below the aircraft.
