When I`m too old to hang glide, I will be flying a sailplane.

wow that`s beautiful.

I recommend you go to sonicbomb.com to see it though, it`s streamed in much better quality, there`s one less bloody logo, and they don`t have little ads popping up while you watch.

Get yourself ad block plus and script block to get rid of those pop up ads (firefox obviously).

Those clouds almost looked like they were made up of moisture...rather than cotton and marshmallows like we all know they really are. Nice vid though 5/5

Working with HD video equitment this is one of the videos I have seen play ALOT of times, I remember seeing a logo for Stormchasers at the end of it if your wondering where it is from. Heres some of the information I remember about it for you guys:

Narrator - "2 miles above the Rocky mountains, warm humid air rises forming massive billowing clouds. Driven by the winds, a sail plane, carrying NASA research scientist Bruce Miller above these towering formations, where a storm is about to be born."

"I`m flying into the clouds to measure electrial charges on water droplets in the clouds." - Bruce Miller

-----

Somewhere around 1:40 where you see that flash, he reports that he was actually hit by lightning. Quote from the video we had (right after flash) "Uhhh.. I think I just took a hit, still good climb."
