                                            WC-121N of VW-4 Hurricane Hunters, 1967

With the advent of powerful long range airborne radar, a new aircraft was added to the long list of planes making storm flights. In 1955 the Hurricane Hunters received the first of the WC-121N Lockheed Super Constellations and by 1958 the Neptunes were replaced by the "Connies". New techniques were devised and weather reconnaissance under went a radical change. Weather information which once took days to acquire could now be gathered on one meteorological flight. Conditions in an area of 200,000 square miles could be observed with one sweep of the powerful airborne radar. One Navy weather flight could provide information of an area encompassing 1,500,00 square miles. Needless to say, electronics had revolutionized weather reconnaissance as well as every phase of tropical meteorology.
