Nice photos. I was looking at wc130 hunter articles and came up with a couple: http://www.knoxstudio.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=ISABEL-EYE-09-17-03&cat=AN http://www.sunspot.net/news/weather/hurricane/bal-inside0918,0,2496337.story?coll=bal-home-headlines And this page has a couple of eyewall photos: http://www.hurricanehunters.com/isabel.htm I read somewhere that Isabel's three days at category 5 levels is one of the longest on record and it afforded several people the "opportunity" to fly into a category 5. That got me thinking that it would very interesting and unusual to build a simulation of a hunter flight. :-) Best, Jim _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
