We pilots were warned never to fly into “cumulugranite clouds” – clouds full of rocks.
There is a Gary Larson cartoon showing two pilots looking out the cockpit window. One comments to the other as he spots something in a break in the clouds, “What’s that mountain goat doing up here?”

So much for living in a dome and flying into a painted cloud. Yip yip yip yip yip

The dangers of flying over Ohio.

“Foof”? – At least it wasn’t a “Clunk” – the ‘cloud’ must have absorbed some of the impact.

As my grandma warned me: “It won’t do you any good when you always have your head in the clouds!”

Basically why birds like clear sky better.

Could this have been an Ice Cloud?

That appears to be a cloud bank. You probably hit the iron bank vault they keep in it!

At least the bird was able to walk away (no matter how wobbly) from the collision!

Quick, Dopey Joe, send out the F-22 Raptors! It might be another $12 science project.

In our era of climate change, the birds don’t have to collide with a cloud to get taken out.

I’m about 80 miles from there…thanks to deregulation from rumps term. Many people are already having health issues and pets are dying….
Biden called and .DeWine didn’t call him back and he also didn’t declare a disaster so FEMA and other agencies couldn’t come to help.

When I was learning to fly my instructor informed me that that type of cloud is known as “Stratoaluminus” and was to be avoided at all costs.

Reminds me of a line from the Tom Lehrer song, Pollution.
Fish gotta swim and birds gotta flyBut pollution will get them if they try.

Too much data stored in that one.

Sadly, that is a true issue. We have lost thousands of species due to toxic air.

Pollution? No way. That was a disguised weather balloon from China, off course, of course…

Those puffs can be overcharged. Just ask the families of the Hindenburg passengers.
