Nick and Mike wrap up the summer with a discussion of their learnings from the Flying Into Hail event in Calgary, hosted by the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. We hear about how the project contracts Weather Modification International to reduce hail damage in an area of Alberta's Tornado Alley by way of cloud seeding - a fleet of planes at Springbank and Red Deer Airports regularly fly into our most violent storms aiming to mitigate hail damage by cloud seeding with flares.
