KU grad eyes hurricane from the inside
Tim Tyson, a 1975 KU broadcast journalism graduate, joined a NASA NOA A crew in a landmark DC 8 mission into Hurricane Bonnie to measure its path and strengthen life saving forecasts. The team, about 40 people, flew from Patrick AFB at 39 000 feet then 30 000 feet, removing most seats for remote sensing gear.
