Nope.... but crashing on the other hand..... yup!

Passenger: How far can this plane fly if the engines quit?

Pilot: All the way to the scene of the crash!

Meh.

I have flown a fair amount not a lot but enough.
Never been scared.
I was on a flight to vegas in heavy wind. My first ever vacation as an adult meeting friends there.
The plane was all over the place. I was in a window seat and as we were landing out the window I was seeing sky, ground, sky, ground.... pilot was telling us to prepare for a rough landing.
The guy next to me is praying, out loud.

And I'm laughing. Not histerical, but quietly laughing thinking if I'm going to die might as well be going to do something fun.

Was a scary landing and for some reason I had no fear. Just peace.

I've been through a couple aborted landings and some bad turbulence but nothing too harrowing. My buddy, however, was on this flight. He said one of the flight attendants came running back from the cockpit screaming, "oh my god, the pilot's dead!" Amazingly, however, the pilot actually survived.

Y'all should try flying "knap of the earth" through canyons, cliffs, and mountains while strapped into a nylon jump-seat with 60lbs of gear on you while in a Chinook helicopter in Central America.... pucker factor!

Yep ... Those pilots we had sure seemed to like that Knap of the earth flying... Kinda like open carrying on a roller coaster...

You really felt (fatalistically) ALIVE through it all.....

Me: "F*CK YOU LADY!!!".....







True story.....


Flight from PDX to New Jersey....that was THE most terrifying thing Ive ever been through. Id rather get into a gunfight, at least I can somewhat control the situation.....

This was absolutely horrifying to me
