It's ok sitting up the front...Us mere mortals would have engine cowlings, leading edge or flaps messing up our composition from our vantage point in the rear. Lovely cloud formations and sense of space and height...

Astonishing shots, particularly the first one. I've never seen anything quite like it. Would make a fine large print.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Thanks for the comments! It's actually fairly rare to get so lucky with clouds and light at the same time. It was after avoiding storms using the weather radar for hours in the dark that finally, when the sun came up, we had these views, rather than flashes of lightning and a picture on the radar. I hope one day (before I retire) some company (hopefully Pentax?) will produce a camera capable of photographing clouds lit up by lightning!.

I thought you were referring to the monsoon which has caused so much damage in Pakistan this year
