Taking the Longitude into the eye of Hurricane Genevieve

Featured Replies

Here's some impressions from my first flight in the Citation Longitude on August 18, 2020. I took off from Cabo San Lucas on the tip of the Baja California peninsula and headed south towards Hurricane Genevieve, that was strengthening at that time and was just forming its eye.

This was the real-life satellite view at 1800Z.

When I was right on top of it, NEXRAD actually showed the eye that was starting to form

Awesome shots.

WOW, all I can say is WOW 😉

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Great shots, the eye wall formation is incredible!
