FlyingDutchman 01-22-2010 07:38 PM

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

NastyEllEssWon 01-22-2010 08:00 PM

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

S.J.SLEEPER 01-22-2010 08:40 PM

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 !!!

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 01-22-2010 09:11 PM

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 01-22-2010 09:42 PM

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 01-22-2010 09:49 PM

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 01-23-2010 04:43 AM

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

MonmouthCtyAntz 01-23-2010 07:27 AM

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 01-23-2010 01:15 PM

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 01-23-2010 01:49 PM

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 01-23-2010 01:49 PM

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

BigRocsFirebird 01-23-2010 02:40 PM

i've been on 10 planes sofar. takeoff is the best!

BarneyMobile 01-23-2010 02:43 PM

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 01-24-2010 10:26 AM

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 01-24-2010 09:31 PM

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 01-25-2010 09:44 AM

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.
