Between layers, over the tall Virunga mountains...

A nice shot of the flight deck.

Another great shot- Calypso's wingtip vortice carves a perfect spiral out of the cloud-tops.

They descend to follow more closely for a while...

The blister has one panel removed, affording a nice breeze and totally unrestricted viewing.

Flying over Lake Albert, the crew spies what appear to be waterspouts.

It's very odd- there is no associated turbulence. What are these mysterious spirals?

They are huge swarms of mating lake flies!! Yuck!!

Next: part 3

Great stuff, Sean. I actually just ordered this from Blockbuster Online after I heard about it from a flying buddy of mine.
