It sounds as if contacting the US Hurricane Hunters is probably the best way to try to get myself and cameraman up into a storm.

Your'e right, these boys make a living out of flying into hell & back, they are certifiably mad !
I have seen St Elmo once , a few years ago on a stormy night in a C130. It was without a doubt one of the spookiest things that I have ever seen. It manifested itself as arcing across the front window panels. I wont deny that I have an active imagination, but it seemed to resemble fingers of luminescent green, creeping across the windows, it was beautiful in a strange way, but also served to remind one of their vulnerability at such times.
If you publish your research, let us know, I for one would be interested.
