I have windshear stories from another life on the B707.  Kinda funny now, not so much at the time. 🤣

Capt. Obet's videos are very interesting. Funny I'm seeing this thread because I was reading this report by Ted Fujita back in 1976. It was an investigation in response to the 6/24/75 crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 66 at JFK airport which at the time was the worst aviation accident in the US.  Although the report is almost 50 years old he was able to put together the events of the JFK thunderstorm and microburst that caused the accident. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19760014753/downloads/19760014753.pdf

Thanks for posting. Interesting stuff.

In case anyone is unaware, the author, Ted (Tetsuya) Fujita, is the one-and-the-same researcher who developed the Fujita Scale for describing the strength of tornadoes. When you hear a tornado being described as an "F4," that's what the F stands for.
