Read about this initially on AvWeb, but their links were broken, so a Google search of the pilot's name turned up these photos from Accuweather. Apparently these guys chase the nastiest weather they can find in a Cessna. Photos by storm chaser Skip Talbot.











Video on the pilot's website, wx-pilot.com:

I pity the insurance company who writes the hail damage policy for that plane..

That makes my tummy hurt, seeing the anger framed in a Cessna strut. Makes my back ache too, since it's usually associated with sleeping in the back seat.

Tighten the seatbelts, fellas! The music belies the bumps, doesn't it?
