[simpits-tech] [OT]Interesting flight...

I'm currently typing this from sunny Southern California.  Corona to be
exact.  I got shipped off from my local job in Auburn, WA down here for a
new group meeting.  It should prove to be interesting. :)

Anyway, I noticed something really weird as we were taking off from
Sea-Tac.  I was on an MD Super-80 and on climb out, the initial turbulence
actually made the passenger cabin deform.  You could see the wave/ripple
in the fuselage as each hard bounce occured.  It was pretty weird to
watch.

Has anyone else noticed this weirdness?

BTW, the Super-80 is an all steam-gauge cockpit.  Sucker looked downright
primitive. :)
