Taking the Longitude into the eye of Hurricane Genevieve

[Der Zeitgeist 1,575]

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.

Climbing out of Cabo San Lucas

Beautiful plane model, outside and in the cockpit details

First view of the outer rain bands of the Hurricane, on the horizon as well as on NEXRAD

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

One final look from above

And we're going in

Caught some icing on the way down
