Am I the only one that loves riding airplanes? Tell me why and your best experience.?

Answer 1

no, i love it..every part of it, takeoff, climbing, cruise, descent, landing...i love it.

i quit my job to work for an airline making only 9.00/hr so i could get flight privileges. i fly all the time just because i love it...i'll leave my airport and fly somewhere then just fly right back.

i don't really have any best experiences but i just love flying into a city i've never been to, catching a cab or the subway, and going into downtown.

Answer 2

I to work for an airline, but for other reasons besides the flight bennies. I do use them an awful lot though.

But I'll tell you guys my best experience, and worst experience at the same time.

Airport: New Bern, Craven County Regional
A/C: Dash - 8: US Air Express
Weather: Heavy Thunderstorm
Winds: variable at 25, gusts up to 40

We took off just before the heavy downpour came down over the field. The cieling was 700 feet. Shortly after takeoff, the throttle was reduced and I thought we were headed up to cruise. Not so much.

All of a sudden I feel my stomach coming up much in the way it does on a roller coaster on the downside of a big climb. We were still pitched up, so I knew we were losing altitude, and fast. Looking back, a quick mental math calculation would put us at 1,200 - 1,500 feet when I noticed my stomach.

The nose dipped down and the throttles were put to full power to gain airspeed. We would pop out from under the cloud cover and cruise just under the ceiling for a few miutes before changing course to get further from the storms.

The pilot said we did encounter a mild brush with Low Level Wind Shear. Fortunately we were high enough to get out of it, and it wasn't a harder push on the aircraft.

This was my best and worst experience because crashing was the last thing I was worried about because everyone else was worried for me and I couldn't do nothing to change it, and I was having a thrill hoping the captain would pull it out.

Answer 3

Flying business class on Air New Zealand from Auckland to London (26hr flight with transit in LA), it was awesome. On the Boeing 747 they have lie flat beds on the upper deck, it's the only way to fly. Apart that it will have to be the general experience of take off/landing, lots of cool sensations.

Answer 4

I personaly do-my best expierences are at night because when you fly at night and u look out the window it looks like ur flying through the stars. plus, if u listen to some music it makes it that so much better.

Also when I fly to Las Vegas and see all the lights is pretty cool

Answer 5

I love to fly.
Take offs and landings give you the best rush, but the view is great while in the air.
My best flight was from Savannah, GA. to Rochester,NY. as I had to change planes three times.
