Everytime you go through some turbulence just remember someone else has control of the plane and that there is nothing you can do. Each bump might be the last one before the plane falls out of the sky. That little creak you hear as the plane is taking off - is that really alright or did a part fall off this time?

All kidding aside you would have loved a couple of the flights I have been on. One was from WPB, FL to Atlanta. The third engine in the tail of the L-1011 would not fire. Needless to say the pilot didn't tell us until we were on the runway and had to turn back. It was not so bad that we had to turn back but that they worked on the plane to fix the engine as we sat there. Think like a tin can and you're inside and a dentists drill comes to mind too. Plane was fixed and there were no problems.

Have a safe flight.
