An-12 Cyclone as weather reconnaissance plane

[upper trail]

As advanced customize or separate aircraft.
It was in hurricane Gilbert at 1988 year, actually hurricane Gabrielle and Hugo (fun fact it was in the same time with wp-3d orion so needed to additional coordination, 1989 year), tropical storm Warren in Vietnam at 1984 year, tropical storm Iris and Jerry (1988), Claus and Marco (1990) during soviet-cubian experiment on tropical cyclone research
