Philthy's phlying phenanagans

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, we had a flight to Tulsa and the weather was very IFR (instrument conditions).
The following pics are on the return flight to Houston flying through the clouds and one thing about a Hawker is the wires in the heated windshield tend to be a catalyst for St. Elmo's Fire - or static buildup and discharge across the windscreen which, at first, can be kind of freaky and actually scare the shit out of you if you don't know what it is. I grabbed my phone and started videoing them one by one and then screen shot them to stills. enjoy!

Is that right on the glass or back off it an inch, 2 inches, or more?

Thanks for that Philthy.

Great choice in Floyd for the music, btw.

Any particular reason ya took that right turn, instead of a left, from Owen Roberts, other than that's what they told ya to do?

We know ya got a life and all, but, we've missed you.
