Chita Craft flies on Hurricane Hunter mission


Chita Craft and photojournalist Ivan Gibson flew into Hurricane Ian when it was a Category 4 storm.

The KHOU 11 morning meteorologist, who was a passenger on the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters out of Keesler Air Force Base near Biloxi, MS, posted on Facebook they experienced lots of turbulence.


"The flight was EXTREMELY turbulent- we passed through the eye of Hurricane Ian four times...the third pass - well, the turbulence got the best of my stomach. (They give you a bag when you enter the plan for a reason). The turbulence was so strong- even with my seat belt buckled the turbulence would lift me out of my seat."


Craft said she asked to fly on one of the Hurricane Hunter flights back in July.
