I wish. I've been on a number of flights that got into the severe range.
Evidence: FA with broken bones on one transpac; Ch9 reporting "moderate
to severe turbulence" (over the Rockies somewhere); and so on. Not
bragging - these were fairly disquieting flights and I'd rather not have had
the experience. I'm guessing that many of the VFFs here have seen similar.
