    P1 Driver, Thanks for the beautiful flight through all those big thunderheads!! That one area with those three big anvil-topped ones that where all together, I felt an old, familiar shiver go up my spine that I hadn't felt in several years!! I once had one of those pop up between me and the airport while I was flying a Cessna 150. About 30 seconds later, the rain hitting the airplane sounded like machine gun fire! That day, I learned just how fast one could "get the heck out of Dodge" in a Cessna 150 when one had to!! Thanks for this and all the wonderful videos up put up for us to enjoy. Regards, Ernie

    Watched this yesterday and was so stunned I had to see it again today. As a pilot I saw t-storms from a respectful distance, always in the lower atmosphere. I saw drawings, read descriptions, but never saw them like thisl. This is truly amazing, and beautiful, and terrifying, I'll never forget this amazing view of those monsters from above. It's like wending through some alien landscape.
