I actually had three more short videos from my flight yesterday that I missed in my little compilation. These are from my flight yesterday and show much closer cloud surfing from the morning.

Here is some small clips I recorded when I wasn't having to focus as much.

A successful journey! My kid was thrilled to get to hang out in fire trucks. I had to take off into clouds and then most of the trip down there I was above the cloud layer. There was a VFR aircraft trying to scud run below me somewhere and knowing the terrain in that area I'm not sure that was a good idea with most fields being IFR. Looking at their ground track now, they were flying down a river.
Anyway, I did the RNAV LNAV 29 into KPDC, which got us just under the clouds. Big hill off the right side when you come out of the clouds (which is a little intimidating). We had a bit of a crowd watching us land and taxi in since only two aircraft flew in.
The way back was more exciting with storm buildups and having a long stretch in the middle with no radio contact (I think Madison approach has a bad transmitter). I was told by Chicago that they can hear me just fine so I pretty much just advised them what I was doing until I got far enough to contact Milwaukee. Then it was time to dodge buildups because I don't want to fly through storms. Easy as requesting 30 degrees left deviation. Landing at KATW was an uneventful visual approach.
Great day, but now it is hot and humid and I don't like that.
Of the 53(ish) comics I read every morning (instead of crazy Internet news) on gocomics.com, one always has an aviation angle.
Today, "Fat Cats" delivers. I can't resist a strip that mentions a super-classy bizjet.
Tonight's #Xplane #flightsim flying has me in the #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet for a quick but extremely WET hop at 6,000' MSL and 381 kts ground speed from Appleton, WI (KATW) to Midway (KMDW) to pick up some folks.
This screenshot shows the current WX outside the flight deck window. Kinda interesting silhouette effect.
This is real time of day and WX.
This hour's random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this great shot (not mine) of Addison Pemberton's vintage Speedmail biplane.
If you ever find yourself near Felts Field in #Spokane, WA, look up the Pembertons and their incredible restoration shop. I was told long ago that visitors are welcome.
I wrote an "In Depth" article for Flying Magazine on this crew. They are awesome.
I am planning a flight to KPDC (Prairie du Chien, WI) tomorrow and it looks like I'll get to use my IFR rating to get there. They are hosting a fly-in/drive-in event: Wings Over PDC 2025!

Using EXPERT video editing (kdenlive) and smash cuts (advanced technique, clearly). I've created a poor video from my phone recordings. I've seen lightning when flying but never at night. It is pretty but I'm glad it was far away.
