Cloud Cover

I always love flights that take off on an overcast day.

The wheels leave the runway and you’re thrilled by the sight of the mundane world below receding further and further away.

As you reach the cloud cover you get jostled around as you climb through it, a shadow of doubt crosses your mind as to whether or not it’s supposed to be this bumpy, if the plane can actually handle this turbulence.
