Dont mean to reply to my own post....but i think the term "hurricane hunters" refers to the USAF guys who do the same work , but in C-130's. These guys (screenshot) are civi...and from the NOAA...sorry ,i cant find a WC-130 model.

I'm really not a great fan of Auckland, but one of the pleasures of being on the N. Shore is that I get to see a lot of the Whenuapai aircraft a lot. I'll never tire of the Herc, but the Orions and 757 are a real treat as well.

My plan is that the base gets shared with some aircraft restoration companies so I get to see Mosquitos, Spits ... [sigh] ...
