On tonight's episode of Storm Chasers, you'll be introduced to the TVN Superhauler! This remote-controlled airplane has a 12-foot wingspan and is capable of transporting 8-10 parachute probes. The idea is for the plane to fly into the inflow region of the supercell, then release the probes at altitude so they're pulled into the circulation. The probes will then record data from INSIDE the tornado! You definitely do not want to miss episode 6, tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern on Discovery!

I enjoy the show. Thanks to all the chasers and the scientific data that is being gathered.
As far as Sean is concerned...
I suppose it is understandable that someone(s) who has known five years of nothing but failure and abject humiliation would become bitter and jealous. That said, I am so tired of hearing Sean's constant whining. His feeble attempts to compensate for his complete and utter lack of ability by bad-mouthing Reed are sad and pathetic. Aside from being impractical and unserviceable, the TIV doesn't even look cool. Anybody could get in an armored can and bumble aimlessly around the plains. At least someone else would be likeable while doing it. Reed, I know it would be asking a lot but maybe you could let little brother tag along one day. Then he could "get his shot" and go on about his life. If I have to watch him blindly fumble around for another whole season I'll lose my mind.
Maybe his next movie should be about Mt. Rushmore. Id think, maybe, he could find that. JC.
Sean getting dedicated meteorological staff for this season was a very smart move on his part. Only getting divided attention from Josh Wurman's team wasn't doing either group any favors, and that frustration was evident in Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3.
If Sean is out for next season, it'll be a loss. Storm Chasers will be missing something if it doesn't have the obligatory jackass around.
Reed and the TornadoVideos.net team is on fire! It was a long 6 months waiting to see all the awesomeness on film from following the chase season online. Next week's episode should be epic!
I can't wait for the upcoming Argentinian chase season either. That'll be coming out about the time the 2010 chase season is on fire, and it'll be a tasty treat.
I also wonder how the hell the pilot actually can see to control the plane. I know the plane has cameras, but it doesn't look like that control setup has a camera view. Driving around in a vehicle relying on only your view from miles away to control the plane - that's some tricky flying there!
He is purely jealous of Reed cause he feels he is copying his idea (which in a sense he kind of is but Reed is better at getting to tornadoes than Shawn). Twistex is kind of cool to see since they are new this season. They have had some crazy chases too like that one that Reed missed last night. Next week looks to have the chase that blew Reed's Window in his face.
From the sounds of it, Sean Casey may have actually got his "Dream Shot." Josh Wurman is right about how Sean doesn't take Storm Chasing seriously and is reckless.
Double finale? Does this mean season and series? No more Storm Chasers? I hope not.
Thanks for post #23, I was thinking this was the last season with all the changes and honestly I thought the new theme song for the show was also a hint of the future. Going out in a blaze of glory, would be fitting if Reed and team got great data and Casey got his impact shot. Couldn't really best that.
