Re: This will put you off flying
Posted: 13 Dec 2015, 11:20I was put off some time ago as I am not prepared to be assaulted by smelly thugs and my replacement knee always sets the detector off.

The time our Easyjet captain cheerfully announced that the flaps had frozen on the port wind and would only extend 25%, so they were just going to extend the starboard flaps 25% and come in a LOT faster and stop a LOT harder, didn't put me off either. Even when the seat backs of the empty seats in front folded over with the force of the braking or when we came past the emergency line and all the doors were open the lights on and the fire engines manned.......
The link did, however, lead me to this which is absolutely brilliant. I'm going to have to go and find the second half...
I used to watch the Vulcans doing high power low altitude aerobatics when I was at school just outside the base in Waddington. When they stood it on it's tail and let it fall over sideways to recover was always incredible....

Posted: 13 Dec 2015, 13:23I can understand that some people might be put off flying by that,
but it was certainly good to watch.

Posted: 13 Dec 2015, 14:54LOLOL Not going to watch! I'm not exactly scared flying any more (I used to be phobic about it) and am happy enough to use it as a means to en end, but I'm never fully relaxed either, so prefer not to watch
