I used to be fine flying...and I have been around the world at least once...but then a few years back I was on one of those flights you always fear. I was sitting in the window seat, with an elderly lady sitting in the middle seat...I knew she was semi-freak because she already came on the plane wearing a mask over her mouth.

After about an hour of flying the plane hit some major turbulence and was being tossed around like the inside of a washing machine...the lady next to me was screaming at the top of her lungs and digging her fingernails into my arm...I still have a scar on my arm from one of her nails.

She freaked out the whole flight and everyone on the plane was sure they were gonna die...

That pretty much did it for me and flying until my good friend Steve Lightspeed talked me into getting into a stunt jet for his Lightspeed Webmaster Weekend.

Being a larger guy, I was packed into that plane like sardine...the stunt jet then proceeded to do loop de loops, 360 spins, flying straight down to the ground then barely missing the ground and flying up again...all these rad stunts...

I figure if I could live through that...the rest of flying is gravy. I havent freaked on a plane since...
Thanks Steve!
