a guys plane crashed in the city today. He went down in Constances Bay. It was a Sea Plane & he was 82yrs old. I'm sure it was age related.
My hubby flies at the same club the old man is from... It was a sad day at the club today.

I absolutely LOVE flying!! I prefer that over driving any day, even though I don't fly too often!:)
I love it but my ears don't!
In fact, I got back from the BBQ at noon yesterday and couldn't hear right until 7 PM today.
I'm really not too happy with the hassle of getting to the airport, waiting in line, etc. But I love to be above the earth, moving fast toward a new place.
My dad built small planes so I got a lot of experience in small planes. I even like the ones with open cockpits. Really fun! :D

When I saw this thread had moved back up, I decided to come and see if you had responded, Mary!!! :) You really are a trooper, not even complaining about your delays after such a wild weekend. Sounds like it worked out perfectly in the end, anyway!!!! :)Quote:

I love/hate flying. The takeoff I'm a little anxious but like, the landing same thing (mostly cuz flying is vacation time so I'm gettin ready for vacation).
I don't mind being in the air, I HATE turbulence. ugh
I DO hate the waits at airports. One day b/f and I waited forever (aka several hours) for our connecting flight since there was bad weather and the plane got hit by lightning so they had to go through a million point checkup. we were gonna get free pizza, that never showed up (or rather it DID, while we were boarding FINALLY, so we had it on the plane, cold, but FREE)
loved the staff too... www.flyi.com is great :)
b/f and I DID take a train trip from VA to FL. 24 hour trip! we slept and played games and read. pretty boring but an experience nontheless. next time IF we do that (hopefully we'll fly instead) we are getting a sleeper car
I've never rode a plane, and I don't ever plain on it. Ever since 9/11, it just scares me.
I've already posted here, but, thought I'd mention that I love airports, too. They are prime for people watching. ;) I love the gift shops! It's nicer to have someone there, but, I can make it fun even if I'm alone. But, I don't like turbulence too much, but, other than that, flying is cool. I know I was either heading to or from Germany one time, and, was stuck between two huge guys (like body builders or something) and they couldn't keep their legs together even if they'd wanted to. It was ridiculous, that's a long flight, and, I was on my period. These two guys slept the entire way. I had to wait til I was about ready to burst, then, climb over them, because they would not wake up. I hate when babies are screaming, that's about the only other thing that bugs me on flights. I actually like the food, now, it's always fun. And, I can't remember the last time I had bad airplane food. I remember once having filet mignon, it was delicious! It was an international flight, but, not first class. I've always wanted to fly first class!
Thats happened to me before :rolleyes: I HATE the middle seat!!Quote:
