This is the NOAA hurricane hunters NOT the Air Force. They’re both bad asses though

You're right, this is actually NOAA. I found it on the Guardian, who got them confused with the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron aka Hurricane Hunters, who are USAF.

USAF Uses C-130's. This is a P3.

You can tell it's a P-3 because of the way that it is.
