First Time Flying

[Busyman]

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I think that I’ll have a stiff drink before we take off to help settle me down. Other than that I’m good to go

..and go to sleep.

I hope you don't encounter TUrbUlEnCe!!!!

I hate flying, I had a bad experiance with a bird strike in Glasgow and that sorta finished it for me I'm not too bothered about the pilot although its true he might be having a bad day u never know? I'm more bothered about the mechanics and other ground staff, U know how it is last thing in the garage friday afternoon I once saw a pilot kicking the tyres on a plane before boarding a 5 year old car you kick the tyres on not an airplane, as for the flatulence bit I thought the cabin pressure remained the same regardless although I would'nt know as I'm always too drunk and popped up on valium to notice, my theory being get 4 valium off the doc supposedly 2 for way there and 2 for way back although I just take all four on way there and worry about the way back later curiously though valium is cheaper to get off drug dealers than on prescription.

Oh rolling over this one.

You guys know I don't like ruining my subtle jokes with smilies. Why do you think I posted in the lounge and used the word stinker. It was a remote smilie.

Synthesis people, synthesis.

Of course people don't fart like trumpets when planes take off, but I am literally in tears over the response.

Wasn'T my post over the top enough. Pseudoscientific jibber jabber, farting like trumpets, a big commuter secret.


I was going to tell Hank it was a joke later to be sure he didn't worry, just wanted to let my first get kick around for a while.



I guess I was bad today, I should dio it more often.

Flying is fun.

Just keep this in mind Hank, more people die/get injured from car accidents than planes. A hell of a lot more, thousands of times more . lol, and to think I wanna be a pilot, my mom calls me crazy. Just get the window seat, trust me, when I first flew I was so scared (12 years old) but the takeoff, oh man, it's one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have, and as the plane lands it's even more thrilling because you can't really see the runway.

We were landing at Seoul Kimpo Airport (back in 2000) and I remember that the airport was close to water, so here I am looking out my window as the plane descends and all I see is water...I was so freaked out. But seriously though, there's nothing to be worried about.

And who knows, if you like this first experience (as I liked mine) you might fly more often and become so accustommed(SP!) to it, you'll be able to sleep through the whole thing (it's easier than it sounds).

oh well since I double posted by mistake, I see people might have gotten it once they ventured to the lounge.

Seeing that no one believed it, I think you got one serious response.

Either way I thought it rather funny.

(I wondered why I heard a brass section on take-off )

You could always get some sedatives from your doctor if it's a real issue. That's what I end up having to do.

I have some here but I really don’t want to take them because I want to face this head on.

If you can trust that the roller coaster will not derail and enjoy the ride, you can feel the same confidence about flying. The difference is that the Captain is on the plane with you and has everything to lose. A rollercoaster is Captainless.

Flying is great fun. Small bumps are normal, just like potholes in the road.

Best of luck.

my first time flying hank....i was nervous for....
about as long as it took to buy the tickets
after that i put it out of my mind
i was in a window seat, and it never bothered me
in fact, the sites were beautiful,
seen from a totaly new perspective
it actually left me more in a state of awe
Mt. Shasta was a bitchin scene from that far up
and yeah, the acceleration was pretty fkn cool too
