Bipartisan Senators Push for Expansion of NOAA's Hurricane Hunter Fleet

A bipartisan group of senators is advocating for a significant increase in the fleet of NOAA's Hurricane Hunters, aging aircraft essential for storm research and forecasting. A proposed bill, set to be introduced, would allocate $2.5 billion for new aircraft and an additional $45 million annually for hiring specialized pilots. This initiative aims to enhance the agency's capabilities as extreme weather events become more frequent. Currently, NOAA operates outdated planes that are nearing the end of their operational life, raising concerns about the accuracy of storm predictions. If passed, the legislation would ensure NOAA operates at least six aircraft, potentially increasing to nine, and mandates that the new fleet consists of manned planes, addressing fears of replacing them with drones.
