I've enjoyed seeing everyone's view on if they'd enjoy this flight or not. For the record, I did feel safe and quite enjoyed the way we danced around the (quite obvious) worst zones. I can only imagine how much fun the pilots were having up front, really working the machine as an extension of their body and keeping themselves engaged with the environment and live weather. Would you enjoy this super-sized bush flying, or would you be looking forward to simply making it to point B?

The best message I’ve ever heard from a pilot to his passengers before a stormy take-off was “We can handle it up here, if you can handle it back there”. 😮
-
That turbulence from the storm scared me through the phone 💀
-
My heart would've been pounding out of my chest. If it weren't for turbulence I could really enjoy flying.
-
Gotta love the turbulence when you watch it on video. Just not when your sitting in it haha!
-
You made it through so that tells me that flying is very safe.

I had a thunderstorm takeoff flying out of Miami once. It was kind of scary because it was a night flight. The plane had electrical issues prior to takeoff which delayed us 45 minutes. The small ERJ felt like it was struggling to climb through the stormy air, gently rocking on the way up. All I could see was dark night sky and sideways rain until we got to altitude. The rest of the flight was uneventful.

The pilot knows what he is doing! 😊
-
These are really good pilots. They were navigating around the worst of that storm using radar.
-
That’s about the time you see some sort of creature out on the wing like in Twilight Zone The Movie 😳😂
-
Nicely executed departure, only a few bumps, and a nice light show! Great job capturing it👍
-
5:56 my god! Been a flight simmer for too long and I've never realized how wild this powerful invention looks like while breaking through all of these heavy clouds and showers..this is crazy!
-
This flight video was awesome. It’s very rarely I watch a take off video this long and I watched it all. I had flown through a mild thunderstorm before and it was nerve wracking. This however was giving me anxiety and I wasn’t even there lol. I loved it though. It’s been awhile since I flew so the nice ambience lighting of Southwest’s blue light was nice. It really was pretty cool. Thanks for adding it.

Ive been on a plane way smaller than this during a storm, and despite the scary looks outside it wasn’t bumpy really….I trust the pilots .
-
This was a decent thunderstorm, and some good turbulence as well. Of course, I"m from CA and 1-2 flashes per minute counts as a good storm for us. Nice video!
-
That looks like it was on hell of a storm. Great job capturing the lightning.
-
I just love aviation. At my age it’s too late to learn to fly. I love these spaceships that operate within the atmosphere.
-
I m never ceased to be amazed by how these machines just attack the sky and soar ..I love fying
-
The thunderstorm was not flown through, it was circumnavigated… you should never fly through one intentionally or you’ll get structural damage at best.
-
Wow thats some incredible footage! - I honestly thought that the thumbnail was a little clickbait but how wrong was I ?! - Great capture, amazing footage :O
