'I’d Rather Be on the Ground' - Airline Passengers Look On as Lightning Storm Lights Up Sydney Sky

A lightning storm over Sydney on February 18 proved to be a frightening welcome for passengers aboard a flight landing in the city.

Paul Davies was among the passengers on board a Jetstar flight from the Gold Coast who witnessed the impressive, if intimidating, sight of the sky lighting up.

Davies tweeted footage from the flight with the caption “the view is better up here, I’d rather be on the ground.”

In a follow-up tweet, Davies said that the flight captain had announced to the passengers that the storm was “the biggest light show I’ve ever seen in my career.” Credit: Paul Davies via Storyful
