Outclimbing CB...
Not really sure what you guys are talking about here?
If I approach an area of thunderstorms I would like to get as high as possible while maintaing a margin to maximum altitude.
Why? I get a better view. I get the possibility to fly over the weather, rather than trying to pick my way through the weather at 30000 ft.

It's not unusual to climb and it's not unusual to fly in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Sometimes between, sometimes over. Sometimes I need to deviate 50 - 100 NM because i can't do either. I have never turned back or diverted enroute because of thunderstorms.

This flight was turning and wanted to climb. Nothing unusual about this.

This aircraft will be found, and the cause will be found. This is not an alien abduction, it's an accident.
