Thunderstorms, anyone fly thru them?

[avbug]

BTW I logged it as actual inst.

Also irrelevant. What you log is entirely irrelevant to the issue of flying through thunderstorms.

The question was "Has ....them?", my answer "yes", but not intentionally. But "intentionally" was not in the question, so prehaps it is not irrelevant.

No, yip, that was not the question at all. As usual, you're not here to contribute, just to stir the pot.

Avbug is accusing me of stirring the pot? Has Avbug ever stirred the pot? Talk about the pot calling the Kettle black. BTW Life is too short to take too much of this seriously, irrelevant?

Again...here we have a thread regarding the wisdom of flying through a thunderstorm. Perhaps if you want to talk about you, or old history which isn't relevant, you should start another thread.

Fact is that intentionally flying through a thunderstorm, or placing one's self in a position to unintentionally fly through one, is stupid unless one has a valid reason to be there...such as conducting thunderstorm research.

agreed

I am not sure what we are talking about any more. I have flown through TRW's unintentionally, but never intentionally. The question was has anyone ever done my answer to orginal question was yes. Did question ask has anyone flown through one in the last 5, 10, or 20 years? I did almost 40-25 years ago, they finally put wx radar in the P-3 in the mid 1980's

This involves reading the question, and understanding it.

Thunderstorms, anyone fly thru them?
Just wondering. I know they contain every danger known to man and airplane but my boss wants me to fly thru or under them and I don't feel it's safe. Thoughts?

The original poster isn't looking for a history lesson. The original poster is being asked to do something he or she does not wish to do, and does not feel is safe. The original poster is looking for information to that end.

What individuals did unintentionally 40 years ago is irrelevant.

You follow "what we are talking about now?"

What the poster doesn't need is individuals who try to justify flying through lower dbz returns, posters who think it's okay to fly through some thunderstorms but not others, or posters who want to discuss what unintentionally happened 40 years ago. The poster is looking for insight into his or her own personal dilema...and we're talking about that.

It's really quite straight forward.

 

[say again]

Oh STFU Mr. Almighty Avbug. He answered the question that was asked. I don't think the poster stated that it had to be recently, did he? If you don't like what you're reading, then STOP!! Quite simple. I enjoy reading Yip's post on "old school" flying from someone who actually experienced it. Now go ahead and give me a lecture on my post, I'm sure to enjoy (in a humorous way)!!!

You have nothing to contribute either, I see.

Very well.

I have to admit..."say again" is on to something. STFU AVBUG!

He already did his contributing, he has also probably unintentionally flown through TRW's, or at least witnessed it from the cneter seat.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Anyone fly through TS?

Only when they're directly over the field. Even then, vis. needs to be below minimums, otherwise it's a deal breaker.

"RADAR..Flight, hows it look up a head?" BAM!

My EGO is still the biggest....

 

[pilotyip]

Wtf?

more detail needed on what you define.

Fly through them all the time. The key is to keep your speed up...oh and keep your coffee away from your crotch.
