REFLECTOR: Who took this pic

Well, that is not what you said:? 

"At 30,000' you are normally looking down @ 80% of thunderstorms in the southwest with the other 20% somewhere higher".?

You did not say that you were looking down at 80% of the cell of a ts. 

As you know, in our jobs,saying what you mean is quite important. It is also easy to loose in E-mail translation.?

I have seen far too many people claim or advertise that you can get above the weaher at "X" altitude.. and they are usually off by 50%. 

Just trying to clarify.? :) It definately looks like they are well below the FL300 advertised. I hope to find out how high my V will go pretty soon.

Dear Controller, I am seriously right....at 30,000' you are looking down at about 80% of the cell of the thunderstorm. Not implying that 80% of the thunderstorms top out below 30,000'. My experience with 7,000 hrs flying around thunderstorms in the southwest says as you say the tops are usually 37 to 42,000, with occational superstorms going well above 60,000.? This picture from this angle , ie; near the bases, looks like an average every day new Mexico thunderstorm, definately not a mid west super cell.

You are seriously wrong saying that at FL300, you will be looking down on 80% of the thunderstorms in the SW. 
I have been a controller in the SW for 28 years, and the Average TS top this time of year is at least FL370, and I have had some of the new Citations even deviate around many above FL450. 

If the statement were reversed, it may apply to the greater southwest area.

RE:? said picture from 30,000':? Anyone who has sat in the front of an airplane looking out at thunderstorms knows that this picture was probably taken somewhere near the base of the clouds, ie: approx. 10,000'..? At 30,000' you are normally looking down @ 80% of thunderstorms in the southwest with the other 20% somewhere higher.? This pictures definately doesn't reflect a view of thunderstorms @ 30,000'.? (sorry)
