Last night I was on board a Northwest 747 and got to watch a awesome light show, compliments of mother nature.

i like the storms in ACOF but i dont love them, i applaud MS's attempt to make the lightning more than just a pencil thin bolt, but i think they overdid it just a little:)
Great shots

I do agree with you Craig, they went a bit over the top. Stunning shots all the same, well done Grin

I think it could of been real world weather because I remember back in March we had a few thunderstorms....at KSEA a Horizon DeHavilland Dash-8 was struck by lighting after takeoff. Shocked

Same plane was struck on the ground a few months before. Nice pics though Dannyboy!
