Special Missions
Master Sgt. Edward Scherzer, 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron loadmaster, demonstrates how he prepares a dropsonde for launch into a hurricane. The dropsonde gathers barametric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, which helps weather forcasters better predict weather models. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Reserve Command's first ever C-130 Special Mission Conference at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Jan. 12-13, 2010. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Marnee A.C.
