Hi,

Speaking of hurricanes, would it be possible to take off in the eye in a
172 and fly along with it for hours in the eye?

I'd guess it may be possible to fly a 172 around in the eye if it could
survive getting into the eye.

Fuel would be the problem, hope you are over a suitable area when it gets
low.

This crew have done it with a UAV

It has a fair endurance (1st UAV over the North Atlantic) and at a talk they
were looking at using it to fly into cyclones (hurricanes/typhoons). It is
also unmanned and cheap.
