Flight plan filed Oct 23, 2015, departure from KSAN to MMZO with the express purpose of intercepting the eye wall of Hurricane Patricia, 60 miles off the western shore of Jalisco Mexico.

ASN is, indeed, another level.

Well done and excellent shots.  Wonder how those 200 mile winds felt.

Thanks for all the positive comments. Yes this is P3Dv3, ASN, and the P-8 Posiedon from PMDG. All three being the best simulators to date in their respective class. Also running ezdok, so the turbulence was severe enough to truly respect the job of real hurricane hunters. They are more man than I...
