little plane flies through lightning

Yesterday I got to fly in a little plane that was being jostled from side to side almost continuously. Just as well I was still half asleep. But more interestingly, I got to fly in a little plane right through a thunder and lightning  storm. "Electrical activity" doesn't look that much different at x-thousand feet than it does at 0-thousand feet, aside from perspective and the just seeming closer thing. But it certainly feels different at altitude.

The pilot said it was perfectly safe. I'm not convinced about that. But it was certainly dramatic.

This is kind of related to research/work in that I sometimes have to fly in planes to do research and work.
