On my last GA flight where I acted as safety pilot on an IFR flight
plan, I got a video
of our shadow on the clouds. So, I will letchya all decide in 43
seconds or less if I was over or in the rainbow

For those interested, the technical name you are looking at is called
a Glory.


or a pilot's 'bow

I found it fascinating how the size of the glory changes dramatically
based on distance from the cloud tops

You're always in the rainbown. Only difference is, when you are on the
surface, the horizon always bisects it.
