A realistic in flight turbulence video
It’s difficult to find a decent video of in flight turbulence for a lot of reasons. For one, turbulence can be unexpected, and no one is going to run a camera for the whole flight to capture a few moments. Another good reason is that people may not want to be holding a camera during a bumpy ride.
I came across this video from an interesting post on airliners.net discussing turbulence, and a member posted a video he captured on Frontier Airlines. If I had to guess, it would probably be considered light-moderate, but it would be very difficult to tell accurately from the video.
