Default Riding the wave in an MD-11

On a recent leg from the west coast to Memphis (at night of course) playing Santa in a Fedex MD-11, we encountered a nice bounce in the wave crossing the Sangre De Cristo range at FL350. Wave was in the forecast so I got the camera ready as we approached the range. Pretty cool how much energy is out there pushing a 500K lb machine around.
Hope to find that going downwind someday.
