NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A Hurricane Hunter aircraft with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) flew into the eye of Hurricane Delta as it takes aim at the northern U.S. Gulf Coast, where it's expected to make landfall on Friday.
The NOAA released video of the trip, which took place on a Lockheed Orion aircraft nicknamed "Kermit." Another aircraft is called "Miss Piggy."
Jonathan Zawislak, an assistant scientist with the NOAA, shot the video.
Hurricane Delta could make landfall, possibly as a Category 3 storm, sometime Friday south of Morgan City, Louisiana, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The hurricane came ashore in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday with top winds of 110 mph.
There were no reports of deaths.
