Shared By: ASOG Desk Editor
There are boring ASO jobs, and there is adrenaline making ASO jobs. In the case of ASOs who fly hurricane hunter missions, this job leans towards the adrenaline side of the spectrum. If you didn’t know, since the first Hurricane Hunter mission, ASOs (be it Navigators, Observers, scientists, etc.) have been critical crewmembers collecting critical information regarding hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones. The information they collect helps communities around the world prepare for or avoid such natural & dangerous weather phenomena.
If you’re curious to learn more about these missions and the role ASOs play in such operations, here are several links and a video that give you a good perspective of this mission and the operators who make it happen.
