Airplanes & clouds

[Jay Press]

I noticed that when there are clouds and a plane flies through it that it can almost sound like thunder sometimes and kind of resonate for a while. Then there are no clouds, this does not happen.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes! I love flying through clouds, even with the turbulance and the noise. My favourite cloud / flying experience was coming in to Denver on June 21st this year. We were above the cloud line, and then a cell went up near by, and I watched it explode upwards and it was beautiful. You could even make out some rotation in the cell as we came in to land. Apparently it was pretty impressive from the ground also. I got my camera out but Everyone around me was going green....

are you talking about when your riding the plane, or when your sitting on the ground?

ive never noticed a difference either way, but then again...ive never really payed attention...it always sounds like a low rumble to me...
