Flying Into a Tornado (With a Model Plane)
I saw these guys set up at the National Storm Chaser Convention back in January, but I didn't know they were going to do anything THIS cool!
I'm John Huntington, author of Control Systems for Live Entertainment, the first book on show control and entertainment control systems. Through Zircon Designs, I do consulting and design work on entertainment control, show control, and audio systems, but this site contains many non-commercial resources related to entertainment, technology, and anything else I find interesting.

So, did they ever recover the HD vid probe?
Now, what would be *really* cool would be if they could fly into the tornado and release a container to make the tornado smell of delicious, wholesome bacon. "Hurry Martha! The twister's a-comin'! Oooh--waitaminute...mmmmm...bacon..."
Of course, you have to watch "Storm Chasers" on Discovery this fall to find out! :-) (Actually, Reed said they recovered them from the corn field).
