KEESLER AFB, Miss. - The Air Force Reserve’s 403rd Wing relocated 20 of its aircraft Aug. 23 as Hurricane Marco and Tropical Storm Laura continued their path toward the Gulf Coast. The wing’s 815th Airlift Squadron, a tactical airlift unit, flew their C-130J Super Hercules to Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. The Hurricane Hunters of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron relocated its WC-130Js and operations to Atlantic Aviation Charleston (S.C.) International Airport, where they will continue to fly into both storms and provide weather information to the National Hurricane Center, which greatly improves their intensity and track forecasts.
