ok so "st elmo's fire" is just airborne static electricity? i mean in simple terms like when my hair rubs against a blanket in the dark? its kinda sexy i guess
This is precipitation static, or P-Static for short. When an aircraft flies through any particles (such as ice crystals in clouds) the particles impacting the aircraft deposit a charge. The charge is then disipated back to the atmosphere through electrical (corona) discharges at the aircraft extremeties (wing and tail tips). These discharges create the static noise (P-Static) that is heard on the radios in this video.
I never thought this was Saint Elmo's fire. I think this is not what you think. That, yes, it's caused by ice cristal collision, and thus provokes those static reactions. Saint Elmo's fire might be provoked by other reactive elements. At least, that's how I think it is...
Oh, c'mon, man, you are really crazy about this! OK, simple: 'till what point do you think this is "sexy"? How the hell somebody would call an electrical reaction as "sexy"? Grow up, man!

Beautiful, but if I'm not mistaken these are just standard electrical discharges :P
