Someone on this board or the other one said they flew in hurricane hunter. Seen many videos on hurricane Mathew coverage on the news looking from the inside out but have not gotten a picture of the aircraft itself.
Please post a picture if you can find one.
Also why use a six bladed prop?
 
Miss Piggy, the one I flew in back in 2014 during my NOAA externship. Flew through Hurricane Arthur. Very exhilarating to say the least.

Speaking of Hurricane Matthew, some extras I found on google:

Eye of Matthew.

A category 5, and with winds reaching 140 mph its the strongest hurricane since 2007 to make U.S. landfall. I hope everyone prepares adequately, I have friends in Florida and North Carolina. This one is going to be a beast.

Now it makes sense. The Hurricane Hunter documentary I watched on Discovery last week was about the USAF with squadron of C130s based in Mississippi. Different ship. Note the six blades. Your NOAA plane is something else.
