There are a few things that make this photo probably one of my favorate photos of all time. One this is the sort of shot i want to one day be able to take. And Two, it was taken at tupelo airport which is just down the road from the college i will be attending.
I cant wait to have the opportunity to see these size storms again as they are quite common in the area. Those bolts of lightning on the left are actually right in the area of the college, just to the northeast of the airfield
