Eye Hurricane Irma
Pilot Nick Underwood flew directly into Hurricane Irma – a category five hurricane with winds that have been recorded to hit 224mph. Despite how crazy that might sound, actually flying into the eye is a lot calmer of an experience than you think.



This category five hurricane is expected hit the Leeward Islands of Antigua and Barbuda on Wednesday, before following a path along the Greater Antilles toward the US. A total of six islands in the Bahamas are being evacuated on Wednesday, while officials in the Leeward Islands have reportedly cut power and urged residents to seek shelter.

I had a blast and I’m hype to go again. My headset on the plane lets me pipe in some music. It automatically lowers the music volume when someone talks to you so you still know what’s up. On last night’s flight we’re approaching the storm at like 4 in the morning and I’m a little sleepy, so I put the workout playlist on,” said Underwood.
