Once was when I was flying from Seoul to Honolulu, and the plane suddenly dropped several hundred feet, then started shaking. The pilot announced, "Please fasten your seatbelts. We are having severe.... problems." *gulp*

Another time was flying from Seoul to Osaka, and the plane was making a whole lot of noise on take-off, then it started shaking. I thought I was going to end up in some Korean rice field.

Then there was the time when, defying all good judgment, the decision was made to try to fly out of Memphis right smack dab into a huge winter storm system in a little 30-passenger twin-propeller plane. After a half hour of bucking and shaking, with lightning bolts lighting up the plane, the captain said, "Folks, we"re going back to Memphis!" and (nearly) everyone cheered.

it was going from Bangor Maine to Manchester England. The plane kept on circling and circling. When we got under the clouds there was foam on the runway and all these fire trucks on the side. The plane lost part of it's landing gear. We had to exit out by sliding down the chutes. I was 15 and loved it, being the dumb kid I was I wasn';t thinking about the seriousness of the situation.

that flew through a freak early snowstorm. It felt like being on the ground and trying to drive over boulders. When it finally touched down at Logan, everybody clapped and cheered.

It had been white knuckle city for about the last hour of the flight.

My dad's flight from hell involved a 2000 foot drop in a downdraft. He said everything on the tray tables started to float through the air because it was weightless for a few seconds.

I don't make enough money to visit any where.. Plane fares get higher and higher, while service seems more non existent. I remember taking what I called, a Puddle hopper from one small town to another...and it was 165 dollars, and they passed out bags of saltine crackers and a cup of ice water if you wanted it. They don't give out peanuts any more.. as some people have allergies to them.

When the aircraft is pressurized, it causes pain on their eardrums, and they don't know how to relieve it.

I was in a helicopter that had to autorotate to land on a beach. We were coming off a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin as a "react team" and lost power. Luckily the pilot knew what to do and we all landed safely. But I didn't hear anyone screaming "God you're my saviour" the whole time. It happened so fast that no one had time to do much, our altitude was, I am guessing, only about 1,000 feet.
