Home From FL - Plane Trouble
 

Had to make an emergency landing in St. Petersburg, FL we had issues with our right wing.. As you can see from the photos below I will describe the trouble.

Flying above florida circling slowly to reduce speed and altitude with an attempt to head to Tampa, FL. You can see the thunderstorm we are about to go into just above the right wing that was fucking up. :Oh crap :Oh crap

Anyways, I was stressed the fuck out, my cell was dead and I was wanting to call my wife just in case... I think the girl next to me wanted to start crying.. almost felt bad enough to tell her I'd hold her hand...

I'm sunburned as hell (feet and legs are KILLING ME) and I'm really tired.. I'll make my shout outs and get back to all of you peeps that I lined up some deals with... I'm gonna take one day of recovery time then get back at it!

Oh yay. I'm glad you weren't hurt. :)

OMG I would have shit my pants before landing. That looks pretty scary man, glad you are alright :)

FUUUUUCK THAT!! Glad you made it home man!!! flying scares the shit out of me....

I'm glad you're safe!!!

Seriously, we had some wicked storms here yesterday afternoon.

Crazy shit man, glad you made it back ok.

glad you landed ok.

good to see ya media glad you made it home safe

Were you in your Speedo? ;)

We had problems due to storms going in AND out of FLL. Added about 1.5 hours to a 1.25 flight each time :(

Scary scary! Was great to see you again and actually spend a bit of time partying with you instead of just passing by like in Vegas. Take care. :)

Hey Media, I heard that on the news. I had no idea that was your plane.

I'm glad that everything turned out - wow man - scary

Damn Media...

that sounds like no fun at all...
Hope you were actually able to sleep after this "E" Ticket ride...

Glad to hear you are home safe and...

well, safe...

That is some scary stuff! Glad you got home safely. It was great to meet you at the show!

Smart to have the digital with ya. Glad you're OK. Assume you had to get back on right away for a long flight home.

Wow and I thought that our flight delay was bad. Glad to hear you are ok.

Glad to hear you're okay man and something other than me fucking with your camera stressed you out. j/k, actually you were surprisingly calm about that one.

when i was flying between islands in hawaii, the wing almsot smashed into the gound on landing. whole plane rolled right and left.

That's some crazy shit. I would have shit twinkies.

im glad you're ok man

No shit! I left out of Ft.Lauderdale at 6pm (or so) on Sunday and while being taxied to the runway, the pilot said there would be a "considerable" delay as a thunderstorm approached - 9 or 10 planes waiting in front of us.

With a connecting flight in Charlotte, 1 hr layover, I was a tad concerned.

Anyway, we then got re-routed to the other side of the airport and took off with about a 10-15 minute delay, arriving on time.

Anyhow, glad to hear it worked out - that shit is just scary when you're flying
and have NO control!
:Oh crap

The Reflected crew was on the same plane.. Definitely interesting to say the least.

I turn around and see Media taking pics out the window, didn't even notice him being on our plane until then. Nice talking to you again, not sure how we missed eachother at the show.

Luckily everything turned out okay. Fun stuff. :)

Man bro that is totally fucked up, glad you are ok and safe at home now. It was great meeting you at the show!

Wow, I'm glad your ok, that must have been scary!

Fuck man, you and your luck with planes this trip, glad you are ok.

me too, and I was worried thinking a bunch of the folks on the this plane had to come from the show. The press made it seem tons worse than your report Media...Glad your OK

Planes rides aren't what they used to be. Now everyone is paranoid pschitzo when you get on one.

:1orglaugh

dam, that's crazy

Media - did they tell you what exactly was wrong with the wing?

Glad you made it home ok.

Was It Your Digital Camera Being On That Caused The Tech Difficulties !

OMG I'm glad you're okay :)

happy to hear that you are Ok :thumbsup

This thread is 3 weeks old already. But Media, I'm glad you're okay too. Congrats on the change in programs too, hope that works out well for you.
