Photographer Tyler Horst and I are aboard TEAL71, a USAF #HurricaneHunter mission into the #atmosphericriver.

The crew will be collecting data over the Pacific using dropsondes. ETA back to Sacramento: 10 hours.

Taxiing now. See you later with the story on #abc10.

Into the #PiñaCollider we go!
@brandonrittiman What, what a cool opportunity (if you don't get airsick--though I suppose an AR is not nearly as turbulent as a hurricane)
