ICARISTICS: Bruce Goldsmith on flying hexagonal cloud streets

Thursday, October 25th, 2001

I first found out about the hexagon theory of cloud formation in 1992. It helped my own understanding of the sky and improved my XC flying significantly. I wrote an Icaristics about it at the time. Since then I have always had it in the back of my mind when looking at cloud formations. Recently I was flying in an airliner over Colorado, USA, when I spotted some really nice hexagon theory clouds and I could not resist taking some photos.
