2007 Flight to PDC with Lexy

On September 16th we flew with Becca and her friend Lexy to Prairie du Chien, WI for Sunday brunch.   While en route, we came upon an interesting cloud layer near Dubuque that eventually forced us to duck underneath it as it thickened up. 

It was a remarkably thin, wispy layer, perhaps only 200 feet thick, but it was quite dense and could not be seen through.  They looked a lot like lenticular clouds, usually associated with turbulent mountain waves -- but the air was perfectly smooth.  

We had a great brunch, and the cloud layer completely dispersed while we ate.  Other than some ear block on the descent into Iowa City, Lexy seemed to enjoy herself.

Here is a short video of the clouds...
