similar life span as a thunderstorm??
in the previously mentioned situation, would you too, drop down to TUN or would you consider that the life span of the sandstorm would be 30-45 minutes like a thunderstorm over an airfield?
we were still at cruise level, approx FL350--would that be safe to overfly a sandstorm? it was night so i couldn't see anything at all. and no radar returns of note.
still one of those events that i would like to learn from if possible.
any feedback will be appreciated.
