Keeler AFB, MS. - It was a quiet opening day of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricane Hunters of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron spent the day training and getting ready for what forecasters say will be another active season.

Though the season officially began June 1 and ends Nov. 30, last year these reservists flew more than 1,500 hours into storms beginning in May with Hurricane Adrian in the Pacific and finally ending in December flying missions into Hurricane Epsilon.

Tropical Storm Zeta formed later, extending the 2005 season into 2006 though it did not threaten landfall. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
