RT @NASA: On the DC-8: With our passes thru Hurricane Earl complete, we'll be descending soon to look for/observe any dust layer out there.

Leaving Hurricane Earl now. Looking out the window, you'd have no idea we were in a hurricane 10 minutes ago - a sunny, cloudy day.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) @ 2 Sep 2010, 6:01 pm
Our final pass through the eye of Earl was mostly cloudy again. But it was our bumpiest ride yet re-entering the storm after the eye.

"Beauty shot" of Hurricane Earl from NASA's Terra satellite this a.m. The Global Hawk is in there somewhere. http://go.usa.gov/cS0

DC-8 is on its final approach to the center of Hurricane Earl now, flying at 36,000 feet.

Turbulence so far on the DC-8 flight into Earl today? Not as bad as some regular commercial flights I've been on.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) @ 2 Sep 2010, 5:25 pm
@Guam929 Yes, the Global Hawk is a drone; former Air Force. Now NASA's flying it for peaceful Earth science research.
