Was yesterday afternoon...took off in an Arado, at approx. 4am Arena Time (was night time)....as I approached the large block of grey matter (Yes, I'm assured they will fix that graphic glitch) the sun just started to show colors on the horizon as I entered the unbelieveable cloud patterns within the 'storm'....alittle 'buffet' at 16k woke me up! Hello! This is too friggin' realistic!
Busting out on top of the storm, with the sounds of the jets whining in my head set, the sunrise was now about 5 min from hitting the horizon. The colors of the sunrise, the swirling cloud formations all around me as I transitioned from a 'foggish' like cloud bank to the tops, was something that was so incrediable that words don't do it justice. I 'felt' like I was really there. Alas, the sunrise is in full swing behind me, the moon is setting in front of me, the storm is about 500 feet below me, the stars are twinkling lightly, by God theres the Big Dipper!...and in the back ground "Stairway to Heaven" coo's lightly ....an unbelieveable experience that I will not soon forget. Glad I recorded it.

Edit: I got so excited by this sortie I order a new Geforce2 video card I was planning on getting next month!
