Radiation at 36000 Feet! - Geiger Counter on an Airplane

I took four airplane trips and logged data from all four. What follows is a video with parts of each of these. In this video I compared the LND7317 tube found in an SE Internation Inspector EXP+ (Geigercounters.com) with an LND712 tube found in a CRM100 from International Medcom (medcom.com).


Here is the data:
