theplummeter 15 #5 August 18, 2011 Quote Magnificent perspective. I'd love to look down from space into the tops of dark thunderstorms too. A couple weeks back I was flying east between two giant thunderstorms cells at FL280 (we're non RVSM). I'm looking at the one on my left and catch a glimpse of an airplane well above me closer to the storm on a parallel path. He was a Gulfstream at 510 and in his words, "not even close to being above the weather". It made me wish I had a decent camera with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites theplummeter 15 #7 August 18, 2011 Sorry, RVSM stands for Reduced Vertical Separation Minima. Aircraft flying in the United States between 29000 and 41000 feet need to meet certain altimetry and other standards and the pilot or pilots must undergo a training course to use the airspace unless Air Traffic Control is willing to waive the requirement. I probably could have left that out but I think John is a controller and it explains why I was either going the wrong way or at the wrong altitude for the correct way ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites aphid 0 #8 August 18, 2011 Thanks.
