"At this moment we ask our passengers to be seated, and to fasten their seatbelt as tight as possible. The roller coast ride is about to start."

Man, that is enormous.

[Messerschmitt Man]

wow nice picture! I don't know much about hurricanes, but would that be part of the eye wall?

dude, I thought you said you were a pilot, that's a squall line.

[Messerschmitt Man]

ok sure, in C.P.L Meteorology as far as i remember we only had to know that a squall was sudden violent winds between #-#knots. Blame my lecturer for not going into more detail not me!

Also lets just say my met book may have accumulated some dust in the months since the exam, but hey i'm only human after all, not Einstein.

Wow...I've never seen anything like that. That's awesome.

"Uhhh, ATC, requesting an altitude change...."

"Uhhh...Center- Any chance we can make a 180 & return to where we started from? Because if we don't, the sh*t's gonna hit the fan up here in a few seconds."

would you like to prove your claim? Lines like that aren't exactly uncommon, just look at these pictures.







and they could have very well been flying in/around it if they were doing some sort of weather research. UND has a Citation for weather research and I have seen video of them doing research on microbursts.

[E-Diddy!]

I agree, squall lines do exist and can take that similar form, BUT: Take a look at the picture again, notice how the edge of the very closest thunderhead outline is an exact copy of the one behind it, and the one behind that, and the one behind that, all the way down the line.

I dont see it. Do we have a tiebreaker?
