Show of hands: Who thought these were going to be GROUND based pictures?


Anyways, I luckily looked out the window just in time to see this really awesome cloud formation as we descended into Houston earlier this evening.  I quickly fumbled through my bag to get my camera and managed to snap 3 pretty good pictures.  





Comments welcome!

SIDE CHALLENGE!  Who can name the plane?  Should be REALLY easy...

Very cool.  ERJ?

I'm gonna go with 737 just on the fact that Southwest rules Texas in commercial flights

Cool, I always like air-to-cloud pictures.

Very cool shots, reminded me of the cloud that rolls in, in the Independence Day film

DC-9//MD-8x

Well Monkey, you may note that the 737 does not have Vortilions and I wasn't flying Southwest...

Bjorn: Nice try, but again, Vortilions...

And bok: You got it, but what model number?  

ERJ-145?

Looks like the Morning Glory.....some sort of a roll cloud.........we'll let Kris inform us as he seems to be looking skyward lots, lately..... 8-)

Nice cloud shots, As far as what kind of plane , My guess is one with scratched up windows.  ;D

Hmm... what do you mean? I have no idea!  ;D

I'm going for a roll cloud... the other type that looks a bit like this one, is a shelf-cloud, but they preceed severe thunderstorms, so this should be a roll cloud...

ERJ-145?

Yep

ERJ-145?

Beat you to it  ^^^
