Sweet pics bclee, how did you take those?

I could see some nice lightning strikes here in Campbell, but I couldn't see a majority of the lightning because they were in an eastern direction, and my view was blocked.

I love lightning storms!

I grabbed my wife's digital camera (Nikon 2500 I think?) and my tripod, pointed it out the window, and took somewhere between 50 and 100 pictures, roughly 2 second exposures but it was on automatic. I was too lazy/sleepy to get my (film) camera out and set it up -- I think I've got 64ASA Kodachrome in there right now, I could have taken some really long exposures.

I did that on my way to Walmart in Union City on the freeway after I got off work at 11:30.

Not sure I can make it tonight, and I don't have the WRX today! (And who wants to see a Jetta at UCKK?) I came to one right after I got the WRX, briefly stopped by a couple more, but haven't been able to make one for about a month now.

Commerical airliners fly all the time. They get hit by lightning all the time too.

But you mean military, tell me more...
