I posted this over in the Target Area, but figured I would copy it over here as well since this seems to have picked up some more activity. Some pics from a military hurricane plane inside the eye of Charley.
-----------------------
I found a couple of Hurrican Charley eye pics... I heard they were few
and far between but stumbled upon them when viewing an Air Force
site....
Enjoy (56k beware, large pics)!
