this one time i was flying into Seattle...we came in from the north, headed south, and flipped back around....landed, parked, got off the plane, walked thru a tunnel, bought a pen at the gift shop, walked to our next terminal, and boarded our next flight to anchorage.


it was an uneventful flight.

Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer for Iron Maiden, is a certified commercial pilot, and has been known to fly their tour plane. I am too lazy to insert picture, but here is a link to one:

Ed now=yes
Young 'climbing the scaffolding and diving into the crowd' Ed=no

and I still probably wouldn't be able to decipher his mumbling over the intercom...

"Helloyes,thisisyour cap'n,Ed...Ijustwannascream HELLO!'

...and then I'll get strip searched because I reek of skunky perfume...what was that stuff Ryez was talking about? Odorize? Hell....I always have Febreeze in my car.

I fly private charter jets and have always dreamed of the day that I would have even one of the bandmembers on board. Alas, its never happened. I would let Ed fly. I think he'd love it. I let a certain basketball player fly once and he was great at it.

i did have to make an emergency landing 15 years ago

left ft. lauderdale..15 min in a generator blew...sirens in the cabin ..captain comes on and tells us we are heading back for an emergency landing

did get nervous obviously but when we landed the captain said we had nothing to worry about :?

Not a great flyer. Over the years I have learnt to use breathing techniques, herbal remedies and distraction to get me through it.

Nowadays I really don't like the take off or landing but I try and imagine that I'm on a bus for the rest of the time - so I don't look out the window much. If you're really concerned go see your doctor and he can give you something light to take the edge off, I've done that before and it was ok.

I loved flying when I was a kid. Took me to new places, travelling, meeting people whatever, it was new so I liked it.

Now...I've been in a career field that's forced me to travel quite a bit. Plus I've grown...a lot.

Fuck that noise. Folding myself in half just to be able to fit. Such an annoying task now. I just recently took a new job though! Why? Mostly local work. What happens first week I'm hired? Had to fly to Seattle for three days. Yeah...sometimes being awkwardly tall sucks the shitbrick. Luckily, that's an easy flight, since I was doing it just about weekly for 4 months a couple years ago.

Coco, I know you know where I roll with this. *shudders*

See, now I'm anxious just reading the title of this thread. I absolutely hate to fly. I'm jittery just thinking about how it feels to walk down the whatchamacallit and step onto the plane. And then when they close the doors, I'm figuring, "Well, it's all over now except the crashing and burning." I am hypervigilant, listening to every single sound _ as mentioned above, the engines revving, the landing gear, all of it.

Ugh. But for PJ20, it makes so much more sense to fly. It's something like 1'45" flight, versus 18 hour drive, which means two additional vacation days.

I know, I KNOW that I should fly, but I am such a big fat chicken about it... :(

And... it would be so nice to have the UnlostDogsmobile out there...

Why so nervous ?

Statistics will tell you anything.

Not too many people have survived a plane crash.

I'm with The 81, love flying but all the BS that goes with it esp. since 9/11.

I always found consolation by looking at the pilots/stewardesses. To them its "just another day on the job". That thought always seemed to cancel out my thoughts of "its just another day crashing and burning on an airplane"

Valium makes me love flying.

There's a flight in the air of every minute of everyday

How many times do you see a plane crash ?

I see a car accident just about everyday..no maybe not fatal but it's still more dangerous to drive

he still stands
