I’ve had a few anus-clenching landings into high wind at O’Hare and it is not fun. One of the few times I didn’t think the “clap when the pilot lands” thing was annoying.

I took one of those small dual-propeller planes when I used to live in Northern Maine and nothing like hearing the pilot yell "Pull up! PULL UP!" From your seat as they try to land in a snowstorm.

From your seat as they try to land in a snowstorm. Didn't quite have that experience, but I remember being in a twin prop going from Minneapolis to Des Moines right after a snow storm, and it was still windy. Felt like the landing wasn't so much a smooth descent, but more like the plane going down a very large set of stairs.

I remember hitting really bad turbulence once coming back from malaysia in the middle of the night, my friend was a little worried and I said to him - nothing to worry about unless the flight attendants start looking nervous, cue a flight attendant rushing to get into the little temp seat they use for take off and grip the bars for dear life. Thank you all for the kind words. Treated myself to a burger, onion rings and a chocolate peanut butter shake to celebrate with my brother and some friends last night. Felt great. Going to pick up my mum some flowers and my dad a 6 pack for buying me dinners and generally being awesome to me through my job search when I visit today to say thank you. I think last night was the most relaxed sleep I've had in months - such a relief.

Braksgirl posted:I landed in New Orleans late last night during a thunderstorm and I was straight not having a very good time so I can't imagine the pants shittery of trying to land in the kind of wind they're having in Heathrow. Jesus. I once had to take a flight to Hays, Kansas for work. I stopped over in Denver and boarded a little 12-seater dual prop. That day there were tornadoes in eastern KS, I was going to central KS, we weren't sure if the flight might be canceled right up until we took off. Loads of turbulence, tiny plane, very rear end-clenching, but it was OK. The flight out two days later the weather was clear, but I was sat just behind the wing and I could see fluid running out of the fill cap on that wing for a long time after we took off. The "flight attendant" on that flight was actually the copilot, just came out the cabin door to hand out cans of soda, lol, so I pointed it out and he said they'd keep an eye on it. Later told me that they'd washed the plane, and it was "probably just water running out of the recess" but I was pretty skeptical. I guess it was fine? Never really found out. Everyone on the flight heard me pointing it out so we all rear end-clenched our way to Denver, pretending like we all though it was probably fine. Anyway never going to get on such a small plane, ever again. poo poo's way too sketch. Fuckin, guy switching our suitcases around to keep the plane balanced because we've got one more passenger on the left side than the right. Gimme a jumbo jet please.

Jesus. I already have a terrible fear of flying, but I remember flying from Baltimore to Atlanta, and Atlanta that day was in the throes of a massive thunderstorm. The winds were so bad that they were doing radar-directed landings and rushing to get planes on the ground as quickly as possible. I'm pretty sure I lost a few years from my life that morning.

 we just found out what started this hockey crap.https://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn/status/1491240893172445184 The goalie said 'How about that loving save.' That's it, that's all that happened. Marchand is going to hear that so often from now on.

I have awful, awful flight anxiety that Ativan does nothing to curb. I had a full blown full on panic attack during a bad batch of turbulance flying across India and it was one of the most embarassing things I have done as an a adult. I have no idea where or how my brain latched on to "if you sleep/relax/don't distract yourself the plane will crash and you will die" but it's there and it sucks.
