basically when a thunderstorm is so strong, that the updraft penetrates through the cloud top....shooting a piece of the cloud further up into the sky than the rest of the storm.
but in any case, severe weather can own a boeing 747 the same way it can fuck with a cessna 172

Planes are cool.
I work for Air Canada and me and some of the engineers/mechanics go and take our lunch/smoke breaks on the planes in the closest hanger sometimes.
Nothing like chilling on a massive 747 or 777 and eating a ham sammich, ahahaha.
Some of the dudes showed me this terrible "joke" they pull on new mechanics/engineers... They buy a bottle of apple juice and leave it out for a while (sometimes near a heater) to get it nice and warm, then they somehow convince the guy to stand directly underneath the plane where the (as they put it) "shit-pipe" is, they release the switch in the cockpit and one guy just goes and empties the apple juice into the toilet in the plane.
The end result is rumored to be pretty funny as some guy gets soaked in warm, yellowish liquid. Aahahahaha.
They said some Chinese guy almost quit on his first day as a result!

cessnas cannot survive thunderstorms. plain and simple. the amount of force and energy that is going up and down inside the storm itself would either 1) rip the wings off; 2) smash the wings off; or 3) toss the plane around like a toy. its because the plane is so light. granted, a thunderstorm can take down a larger jet as well, but that is mostly due to either 1) lightning; 2) hail; or 3) extreme downburst or updraft.....not just LGT-MOD turbulence which greatly affects smaller aircraft moreso than heavier.
the pic i posted isn't the best one really, but yeah, overshooting tops can be extremely dangerous to aircraft flying above a thunderstorm.
trust me, i deal w/ this crap on a daily basis of stupidass pilots who are like, "omg i fly through whatever i wyant" and our forecasters even tell them to avoid thunderstorms at all costs.
little tiny T-37s and T-38s which are training "jets" can't fly in anything other than SKC-FEW sky conditions either.

lol i was giving you shit. you took the bait! :P
oh and a cessna is a slow plane. the one i started with has a max speed of 350mph and a cruise speed of 330mph. its also a pretty agile plane.

Tublarbills: Can I ask what you do which makes you such an expert?
I've taught meteorology, instructed on light and commuter aircraft and full motion simulators. I currently fly transport category jets throughout North American and the Caribbean. I love how you reference some pilots as being "stupidass". Yet you're the one on here carrying on about things you clearly have a very limited knowledge of. Carry on though, most here will never know the difference, and you can be a hero in your own eyes.
