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.  |
hahaha, thanks so much for the reassurance...LOL
I should dig up my thread from Vegas last year when the plane we were on broke and we had to return to the Vegas airport and all hell broke loose later on when we landed in Dayton. I swore that would be the last time I flew anywhere...lol
Damn, if the Captain would only talk a little more during the flight to let people like me know that the creaking and swaying and vibrating and all that other shit is OK I would do so much better.
Actually this year on the way back from SD I discovered those quick-acting chewable sleeping pills, so they are my new plane friends...lol
