Heard on frequency during some nasty weather, a beech 18 night freight pilot offered a report about his current situation…
ATC: Copy. Care to offer a PIREP?
Beech: Sure. At 12,000, we’ve got lightning … cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground … so far, negative cloud-to-airplane-to-ground…
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A Beech 18 night freight pilot encountered severe weather with extensive lightning activity.
- Upon request for a PIREP from ATC, the pilot humorously reported lightning striking all around him.
