No, he wouldn't. Look at the clouds; there's too much moisture in the air to get a green flash, even if he didn't have the sun setting over the hillside before it actually reached the horizon.

actually i've only seen the green flash over mountains - never over the true horizon - and wouldn't atmospheric moisture just increase the refractive index of the air, and the associated cromatic variance?

after reading the 'Climb & acceleration' thread in the Aircraft and Vehicles forum, i just assumed everyone who reads this BBS is a nerd - see
http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/explain/explain.html
(s)he uses the proper term 'atmospheric dispersion' instead of me 'chromatic variance', which i pull out of my 4$$ when i couldn't come up with 'atmospheric dispersion' on-the-fly
