Gary Lanthrum submitted this photo and note: “Flying home from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 back to the Seattle area I encountered lots of thunderstorms. Many required significant re-routing, but this one let me fly my intended track about 10 miles from the nasty bits. The storm had a well-defined edge that stayed to the north of me. I watched closely for any signs of expansion in my direction. It was my lucky day. I made it to Aberdeen, South Dakota, for the night without incident.”
“This picture captures a linear convective system over Minnesota. The storm was moving east as I was flying west, so it did not expand in my direction. I flew parallel to this storm for more than 100 miles.”
