Took the Icon A5 off for a flight over Hawaii

...

On the way over to the big island, I got caught in a thunderstorm...

...

After a lightning bold barely missed the bird, I immediately took off Wink

Ah, you were faster than me, I was about to post some A5 shots as well  Grin
The second shot is nice. For the first one, you should have waited for the red writings to dissappear before taking the shot Smiley

Remembered that about 10 seconds after taking the shot, to late to go back and retake the shot Cry Cry

Take your time when you take a screenshot.
Also, I noticed the text says Zoom 2.00... I recommend you to avoid zooming on aircrafts, excepted if the background of your picture contains only the sky or clouds.
If you zoom on a plane but you can see the ground in the background, then the ground will look really blurry, and you want to avoid this.

The best solution is to get the camera closer to the plane instead of zooming. Once you are in the outside view, press CTRL + '-' (minus key) and CTRL + '+' to modify the camera distance. In you case you'll have to press CTRL+'-' and keep pressed, because the movement of the camera is soooooo sloooooow. Once you're close enough, ensure your zoom is set at something like 0.80 or 0.70, these values will make the background scenery look more crisp and detailled.
