Yer. Not being able to what's at the front of the plane isn't nice.

Last time i was on a plane (about 2 weeks ago now) i saw this plane like cloud with a light on the nose.

It looked kinda like a concord would from the side during flight (with the nose straight) yet it was thinner, and looked like a cloud, but it stood out from the clouds because it was darker and it had this light on where the nose would be. It seemed to be moving backwards too as i could see it for about a minute and the nose was pointing in the opposite direction (we still over took it).

Wierdest thing i've ever seen.

idiots. were they paying for their undercarriage on an installment plan?

I stopped counting at about 50. Even as a passenger turbulence is great fun. Just think of it as a rollercoaster. Oh and strap in though, there was a steward killed once when turbulence threw his head through the ceiling panels and broke his neck.

Only worry if you are flying Iran Air:

I vote JAMES has the BEST name FOO'

And anyway, your seat has a rocket motor in it, to get you the hell out of there, and a nice big sheet to slow your descent. Passengers on a 747 get to kiss their own ass's goodbye.

comedy aside, I've only been on a plane twice. I have to admit when we hit turbulence I felt a hint of panic and claustrophobia.

I think that's all about not having control though, and not knowing what's going on. I'm the same with motorbikes - I hate getting on the back of them, it scares the hell out of me. But I'm fine if I'm riding it myself.

I tend to watch too many documentaries about plane crashes.

Pfft, it doesn't happen much. Plus apparently the water is lovely this time of year. And freefalling rocks. Genuinely one of the coolest feelings ever.

It's not the blokes with their hands on the joysticks, so to speak, it's the baggage handlers who forget to close the baggage compartments, resulting in large holes being torn in the side, and several passengers enjoying a tranquil moonlit plummet to the atlantic.

There is nothing to be scared about going on a plane Borat. I mean, I fly them and everything! You would trust me with your life wouldn't you? Then why not my commercial brethern?

I ain't gettin on no plane, fool
