The night of June 28, 2004 and just after midnight into June 29, 2004.

The following radar shadows were depicted with ATC reporting level 4 and 5 precipitation.
These cells were encountered somewhere on a direct course between Richmond, Virginia
and Charlotte, North Carolina at 6000 feet MSL and on the same return course.


REMEMBER:
Set your tilt to paint ground behind cells. No ground behind cell = shadow-producing
thunderstorm cell or precipitation that causes attenuation.



Sorry, forgot to take a picture when tilt was up, so this is all I have for this one.

Tilt down:




Flying through light to moderate precipitation. Probably getting attenuation.
A little out of focus, probably due to turbulence when I took the picture.
Note the precip to the left of course.

Tilt set up:


Dont fly to the left. Tilt down shows why:




Hmmm, probably dont want to wander to the right of course...those scallopped edges
on the back side of that return make me want to know whats behind it.

Tilt set up:


Tilt down:
