3 Lennies, anyone?

I nice sky full of lenticulars. The Mav3 Pro handled the wind well, as always. More to come.

Nice collection of them.

Very nice! How did the M3P handle the turbulence that these generate near the ground?

I'm not aware of that as an issue but in general the M3P is like the M3 in that it's crazy stable. I had a hard time opening the car door on this day which is the same as a recent day when I did a 20sec hyperlapse in 25+mph gusty wind with no problem. I'm in awe of the stability of these things.

Are you sure that isn't a cloaked UFO Mothership?

strong possibility...

Those are one of my favorite types of clouds. Where is that?

South of Delta Junction Alaska on the Richardson Hwy.

What a great shot. Is that Mt Shand in the distance?

No. Shand is west and a bit north of that - I think.

The heaviest turbulence that I ever experienced was the first 1000’ under a mountain wave in a sailplane. It was a struggle to keep the plane straight and level to maintain the high tow position behind the tow plane. Once I passed ~1000 ft the air was as calm as sitting in my living room despite the overwhelming lift. I assumed that a drone would experience the same unstable flight under a mountain wave.

Even 3000ft would not get me there
