Flying

[NJ Torque]

Well, I have to go to Orlando for training this next week... and I have to do something I've never done before... fly!

Who else hasnt ever done so?

[Featherburner]

The take off is awesome.

[Knipps]

The take off is awesome.

:nod: been about a year since I've flown. man, I want to go back.

[FlyingDutchman]

umm yeah i reallly dont want to, possibly may for the first time this spring... not lookin foward to it haha

[NastyEllEssWon]

its great. the takeoff is like a fast run down the drag strip proceeded by a half turning tilted ascent :lol:

[S.J.SLEEPER]

hold on to your ankles chris !!!
oh and make sure you get the seat next to the emergency exit, this way you get to open the door and let everybody else out so you can see how long it takes to hit the ground !!!

flyin FTW !!!

JUST MESSIN WITH YA. have a safe one and don't worry, its a piece of cake. I've flown like 20times already !!!

[zuuhlsT/A]

The only thing that gets me on a plane is 5 martinis' and a thorazine big gulp. Best line I ever gave to a stewardess " I need a morphine drip and a hammer." " Whats the hammer for the stewardess asks?" " To make sure the morphine is working" I answer. I always get a laugh outta that one.

[Tsar]

Holy crap, you've never flown before? I find that rare/amusing... I can't count how many times I've flown as a passenger or a pilot. :lol:

[The Fixer]

At least your first flight is a quick one to FL! My first was an 8 hour trip from Newark to Rome, Italy. :) And like everyone else said, the take-off ROCKS!!! It's really cool, especially if you're a motorhead.

[B4C]

I'm flying right now...lol um my first flight was 3yrs ago on a 50 passenger jet and had to sit near a man that looked just like Charles Manson :eek: amd had to sit in "the hole" (seat in the back under the engine) sucked I hated it felt every turn dip ect. Got on a big plane 747 and it was fine take off is cool didn't like much else.

[NastyEllEssWon]

yeah after takeoff its basically like being on a bus with nice scenery.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

I did alot of it in the military. Im not to fond of it at all...Orlandos a quick flight you'll be landing before you know it.

[thunder]

ya other than the take of flying is boring. i used to fly to Poland ever summer and ten hours of sitting still deff wears a man out

[Blacdout96]

Got you all beat, Flying to Taiwan, from start to finsh, about 24hrs., with 17-19 of it actually flying. the long stint over the pacific SUX!!!!, but when you fly over Siberia, or Alaska, it's pretty cool. One thing I picked up on my first flight is instead of flying strait down towards taiwan from there, we had to go around North Korea, guess they don't like us flying by :lol:

[enRo]

The opportunity never presented itself, which is why I still have yet to fly.

[BigRocsFirebird]

bring some chewing gum with you. It helps with the cabin pressure on your ears.

Orlando isnt bad. Detroit was a quick flight, but the plane was small. You felt all the bumps.
Going to Italy, that was a trip and a half. You realize you cant go anywhere. I couldnt imagine going to Oz or anything farther then 10 hrs.

You didn't get a tv that you could watch? I always find those helpful on long flights. When we were coming back from Vegas I managed to watch 2 movies, and some sitcoms, and the time just flew by.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

Bring some GM-HighTech magazines and some Lubriderm lotion!!! (incase you get bored) lol:rofl:

Detroit from Newark is like an hour and a half flight. By the time I got the laptop up and loaded, we were on approach....

I meant Italy, doh!

[BigAls87Z28]

Ohhh oh yeah they had movies, but you get restless.
They played Titanic as we flew over the north atlantic. They had two movies, and then showed 3 epsiodes of some sitcom...

[WildBillyT]

My worst was nonstop from Newark to Honolulu. I saw "Blades of Glory" three and a half times. All the other options were way too bad.

Ouch, I had a flight where there was only 4 TV's on the plane ( NorthWest) So you had to squint if you were a ways away, and the ear plugs they give you ALWAYS break, or you only get sound through one ear, so you might as well lip read lol. and 14 hours of that ****, **** it, thank god I bring fat ass books with me to keep me occupied.

[Tsar]

You guys had some bad entertainment experiences. Last time I flew everyone had a tv available. It was built into the headrest on the seat in front of you. Granted you had to pay 6 bucks to use it for the duration of the flight, but it was well worth it. They had the whole Direct tv range available, plus 3 different movies that played right after another. I think airlines should hurry up and make this a new standard, more money for them and a better flying experience!

[NastyEllEssWon]

delta has the headrest monitors

Delta, Continental, and JetBlue all have them, and I think all 747-ER's do regardless of airline. I don't think it's airline specific- it's plane specific.

[Knipps]

Every Qantas plane I've used on my last few trips had that and it was all free :w00t:
TV, Movies, Games, etc. I think I'm a little spoiled expecting that as an option now :lol:

Pretty sure Continental had their own stuff too from NY to LAX

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, 747's do. I took a Lockheed L something something to Italy over a decade ago. TV's in the headrests werent as prevelent then.

[Squirrel]

longest flight ive ever been on way to either denver or the caymans, not really sure which... denver flight back sucked balls though, i was afraid the wings were gonna rip off the plane, but flying over the midwest is the only cool thing about it

[Blacdout96]

Any body ever get " Jeffrey" on their flight? I did.

For those of you who don't who or the story about Jeffrey, look up Bill Cosby's standup when he was on a plane, you'll soon understand.

I just got done flying over the Pacific, and had a 5 hour layover in Detroit, I just wanted to get home. Little did I know a family bought the seats surrounding my window seat, with Jeffrey ( real name Joseph, it's etched into my head) sitting direectly behind me, kicking the seat, and screaming at times to be funny. about 15 minutes before touchdown I had to turn around and let her know about what I just went through before getting on that flight. I turn back around and she just told Jeffrey to stop......last 2 minutes. Best part was as we began to land he yelled out Were gonna crash!! made some heads turn to say the least.

I wish I had a bottle of Ritalin on me at the........no not to give him one, but to smash him in the face with it :lol:

[V]

flying is fun, for me any commercial flight, no matter how bad is better than military flights in say a c17 or a c130. in sept, from Atlanta to JFK, i fell alseep before we even took off and woke up on descent, lol.

[Blacdout96]

do oyu have to sit there the whole time on the military flights?
