Even above thunderheads, you bounce around....

Saw TWO planes while we were in the air....  seldom do I even see one in flight... and when I do, it's always a bit of air space away!.... These were in the air, well obviously, 1000 feet below, I could see everything on the plane pretty clear... well, NOT everything, but I like to exagerate for a good story!....  and one forgets just how fast we all are flying....  Afterwards I talked the pilot, cuz it seemed weird they were so closer than normal.  He said when you're dodging thunderstorms, the window of available 'good' air is a whole lot smaller.  You know, I use to be able to ask my dad those questions... :-(
