we hit a cell rising fast went from fl33 to fl39 in seconds and wild airspeed swings then back down to fl33 all three of us looked at each other and said what the hell was that?
A very rare event I'd hope. Weather-wise I've led a sheltered life; only experienced what I'd call moderate turbulence (perhaps the pax wouldn't) and had a lightning strike once.
