My dad always said, he wasn't afraid to fly he was afraid to crash. I've only flown to the Isle of Man and back. A long distance would worry me I think. Edited by: Barb at:15th January 2009 21:28 |

As you know, I fly back and forth to England every year, and every bump causes me to worry. I never used to be like that, I used to enjoy it. |

Flew back here sometimes 2 or 3 times a year, but it seems the older i get the less patience i have for flying.... according to the news stories i have heard so far, no one injured or seriously hurt.

That pilot deserves a million dollars, a medal, sainthood, etc. The latest reports say he walked the length of the plane 3 times to make sure everybody got out. What an amazing flight crew! |
