The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
For all those interested.
Great shot! It must have been spectacular to see for real. Is that one of your own photos?
Cheers,

Wow! That is an absolute ripper. A properly formed tornadic waterspout - essentially a tornado over water. They are not at all common at this intensity in Australia so to get a shot like that is very lucky.
No its not my own photo, a friends. Be nice if they actually had a proper camera instead of the old quick snap on the iPhone 🙂 I have seen a few different angles of the same photo taken, ill see if i can get them.
Here is the link to the video on youtube Richard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Za46Rmc5hxI
They are fantastic shots. I've never seen such a powerful and long-lasting waterspout. Any chance of sending me a copy of the original video - I'd like to edit it and use it in our class presentation for Met [with your permission of course].

Hi Bob
It's not my video. You can download the video off YouTube.
Thanks for the link to the video. Again, truly spectacular stuff 🙂
