I did fly through a hurricane (typhoon) at an altitude of about 500'. Yes, it was rough! Yes, we were IMC a lot of the time. Back in the early '50s, before wx radar, we blundered into a hurricane in an R5C (C-46). Flew right through the eye. We were probably at around 10,000' altitude. My dad has a ton of C-46 time. He was in a troop carrier squadron based out of Tachikawa, Japan during the Korean War until 1955. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE
