Last night I flew the WW3 Stryker jet with video running for almost 15 minutes out in front of a beautiful striated meso with shelf cloud, scud rising, CGs strokes from the rainfree base, everything.
I made many gentle swooping passes with storm in full view from approx 300 feet up catching wild lighting that I'm sure where in the field of view.
On landing I came just a few inches short of the tall grass on the side of the road and popped the battery off the camera on the pavement. Camera and plane are fine but when I went to download the AVI file it was 0 bytes long! The loss of power on the camera caused the file to close out without writing. Aaaaahhh :eek:
I hucked it back in the air, did one quick circle but the storm had weakened and all I got was these few minutes of video.
