I flew home yesterday evening and was buffeted a bit by heavy skies and lots of wind. My flight was delayed because of a ground hold in Phoenix due to a dust storm that later turned into a thunderstorm.
I know this sounds crazy but I really enjoy flying above and through storms. The clouds from above are always spectacular and there is so much swirling activity as you fly through the clouds.
I captured this cloudy sunset as we approached the airport. The last 5 minutes were a little bumpy but I've experienced way worse. The best part was that it was only 92 degrees when we landed in Phoenix. That's cool for July!
I don't like storms, they are rather scary here lately and frequent helas.
ReplyDeleteI have flown over thunderstorms a few times, once at night. Welcome home.
ReplyDeleteI am a nervous flyer so would not have enjoyed that flight, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI don't like a lot of turbulence either but at least you made it home safe.
ReplyDeleteBeen a while since I ended up in really bad weather. Nice shots here.
ReplyDeleteVery thick clouds
ReplyDeleteI don't mind flying above a storm but I'd rather not be IN one.
