The purchase of a new plane will replace an outdated and aging aircraft that had been sidelined for previous missions. Our hurricane hunters play an integral role in obtaining lifesaving data, and I am proud that we are taking this vital mission seriously by investing in our storm tracking capabilities. I would like to thank Chairmen Cochran and Shelby for their commitment to this Florida priority by including this funding.”
