Title: Anyone else hate to fly?
Post by: JesseVader08 on April 19, 2005, 04:17 PM
I do.  I love the takeoffs, because going that fast is a definite adrenaline rush.  But when the turbulence hits... I turn green.   :-X

Nope, love to fly. Nothing like watching the ground move away from you at take off and seeing the world at 35,000 plus feet.

Hell, I used to Skydive back in the early 80's. (http://sc-pa.org/2bb/html_folder/smilies/guy_skydive_md_wht.gif)

It's funny, but I really don't mind flying...  I hate the sorta hectic feeling GETTING to the plane though, if that makes any sense.  I feel rushed and "late" about that.

Flying doesn't bug me though...  My brother went to Florida just a couple weeks ago, and the flight down was cool but they hit turbulence all the way back to Pittsburgh, and he's not a fan of flying.  He thought the flight down was how it generally is, but the ride back had him never wanting to set foot in a plane again I guess.

I can handle flying just fine, but I usually get a wee bit nervous come the landing, since I've had a number of very bad landings in my flying career.  Of course, I suspect the runways in Indy are a little better constructed than the dirt and gravel ones in China.  ::)

But I'm sure after the first airliner gets shot down upon takeoff by a ******* terrorist with an RPG sitting right next to the airport, my opinion of flying will change dramatically - especially here in L.A.  Just a question of when that's finally gonna happen...  :-\

I don't really care to fly, but it saves time compared to driving.
Don't forget your gum!

I love flying, especially when I'm the one flying the plane!  I'm the kind of guy that can sit on a plane in mid-flight and read magazine articles about plane crashes.

I just wish I could still bring my swiss-army knife and zippo lighter with me.

I don't mind flying all too much except the intial point of taking off/landing.  Once I'm in the air I'm fine but just those few seconds bug me a little bit.  I'm going to have a lot of fun with this since I have five stops thoughout my trip.

I'm the same way. It doesn't bother me at all. It's not like I can do anything to prevent it so there is no use worring about it. And I think flying is a lot of fun, it is such a great view and it is fun going so fast. Bring on space travel ;D :)

Flying doesn't bug me, it's my paranoia that does. When I get on an airplane and see a seedy figure, I get real suspicious, and plan my escape/assult on the person, in case they get up. >:(

I love flying...If I'm not at home or Denny's, I'd probably be on a plane going somewhere.


I wish. I love flying...esp in turbulence for some reason.

I don't mind the flying so much as what's become of getting onto the plane. I haven't flown since before 9/11, but hearing the things that you can and can't bring or do, etc. I have no intention of going through this and besides I don't have many places I need to go that would require flying. Roadtrip!  ;D

Please, do not attempt to use the forward lav while flying with Kevin. Just hold it until you're back on the ground, and preferrably off the plane.

Exactly.

Flying sucks IMO, but it gets you there quickly so it must be endured.  Always glad when the plane lands I am out of the airport.

Also wish I could fly in one of these, not the United Sardine Can.

I so hope I am sitting next to you tomorrow from Minneapolis to Indy.  I'll be pointing out all the rivets loosening and **** like that ;D

I've only had one plane trip in my life, and it wasn't that bad.

I absolutely LOATHE airports though, so when I travel, it's all about the roadtrip. Something about being cooped up in my Hyundai for hours at a time with music, friends, and herbal disturbance.  :) Just try to get that on an airplane.

Love flying, hate the cramped seats (and I'm not paying extra money to sit in business class.)  I usually try to make a habit of grabbing an exit row if I can.  Love the extra leg room.

Well I finally got the nerve to fly just lat year, cool part was that NYC was my very first destincation, so that was nice!!

My first take off from Austin I kicked the seat in front of me and got scared cause the way I was sitting the blood rushed to my head and I got dizzy. The guy in front of me turned around and instead of being an *******, actually got me to relax a bit. The second plane was much better I just lean forward instead of sitting back.   :P

I'm not a world class flyer, but am getting used to it. It's is scary sometime just thinking that if it goes down, no way in hell you are surviving!!! :o

Oh and I also hate the seats, espcially the plane fling up here Albany, it only had three rows total, one on one side, and two on the other, talk about tiny plane!!! :o

The more times you experience it the easier it gets I will admit it.  I still like to be on the ground though.
