This is what I was doing last Sunday, and no that wasn't in a simulator, it was while returning from Houston and dodgeing a FL600 TS over Lousiana. :insane:
 
P'leaseee...

I'm not sure what you're in but I'm guessing it a Lear or a Citation and I'm guessing if you turned that camara to the left there's some big dude shoulder to shoulder with you...Pit stains, coffee breath and all.

I'm content to pass the stuff at 370 with my seat all the way back, my feet up on the footrests and my captain not in sight.
 
Touche!

But I can have a 56 year old flight attendant that reeks of cat pee bring me a tonic water and a bag of peanuts! Ha!

Wait... I've got to have a valid counterpoint in order to use 'touche'...

Ehhh, nevermind.

LOL!!! So that's what us CFI's have to look forward to!

Well, I've never gone through a TS with tops at FL600 (and I don't think I'll ever do that...sounds like suicide), but I have taken a C172 through one with tops at FL250, and a Seminole through one at FL300. I thin that's my personal minimums.

If you really have flown through thunderstorms, on purpose, in any aircraft, never mind a Skyhawk and Seminole, then you are <final phrase withheld due to forum decorum>

So I guess that makes the guys flying through hurricanes with 130's and P-3's completely whacked?

Totally different ... No C130 or P-3 flew through a T-Storm. The sheer in a hurricane is horizontal not vertical like a T-Storm

Hey Baronman, how's that RJ treating ya? :P Yeah it was in a LearJet 45 and no the Captain was a real cool dude and we have enough room for two FMSs to sit side by side on the center console so hardly shoulder to shoulder.
In fact enough room for fold down armrests on each side of the seats.

But I think the line goes...
Corporate pilot: "Hey Delta 475, how's the weather down there?"
Airline pilot: "A little choppy, how's the pay up there?" :P

All the hurricanes and typhoons I've flown in the vicinity of had plenty of thunderstorms imbedded in them. ALL of them, and there's been quite a few.

Anybody who's been flying for any length of time professionally who has not been in any part of a thunderstorm is lying about something, or just didn't realize it, which is even worse!

Not sure that FL 470 is worth much for this stuff. If you can top the storms with a good margin, then altitude is great. Otherwise, the truth is that the best altitude for thunderstorm avoidance is FL 250, for a lot of reasons.

Hmmm, Let's see if this poor "Airline" guy can add something to the mix...

By my calculations... you are somewhere over MEI heading to East to Columbus, GA... Not between TX and LA... ;)

Aviate... Navigate... Communicate... LOL! Just messin' wit ya!

I agree with your satement Seagull, but there is a big difference in flying in a T-Storm and flying in Part of a T-Storm. Plus I believe there is a general misunderstanding of what flying in a T-Storm really is about. It is not flying into an area of RED on the RADAR, that only indicates precip amount (1" to 2" per hour ). If it were truly a CB with veritcal shafts during the mature or disapating stages I believe we wouldn't be reading about it first hand. I also agree with your 250 satement that really tells what a cell is doing.
