If you want a good, exciting read about hurricane hunting, Dr. Jeff Masters at Weather Underground posted his rather harrowing experience flying into hurricane Hugo...
Hunting Hugo : Weather Underground
In September of 1989, a NOAA hurricane hunter airplane intercepted Hurricane Hugo as it approached the Caribbean islands, just before Hugo's destructive rampage through the Caribbean and South Carolina. The crew of the airplane were the first people to encounter the mighty hurricane--and very nearly became its first victims. The mission remains the most harrowing flight ever conducted by the NOAA hurricane hunters. I served as flight meteorologist on that flight, and feel fortunate indeed to be able to tell the story.
