I thought, "Hey, this flying ain't so bad after all!".
Upon landing I was transferred to a "puddle jumper" for the flight to Monterrey. I swear that plane was so small the pilot turned it by leaning as you would on a motorcycle.
Never recovered from the "willies" of the second flight. To this day the wife has to pry my finger tips from the armrests of whatever flight we take.  |
I remembered flying on a J-31 from SNA to LAX. I did not fell like flying and the non-rev charges were free when I work for AA so why not. No cockpit door. Pilot turned around and told us the emergency procedures. You have to step over the wing spar to get to the forward 2 rows.
Ah those were the days of flying.
