Planes & high winds

Well my giddy aunts, I'm the worlds worst flyer, I'm petrified of flying so I'm so, so glad I wasn't on these planes today. I would have crapped myself for sure.

I can imagine those passengers being VERY relieved once they landed safely.

Much respect to the pilots who eventually do get their passengers down safely.

I was holding my breath...……..phew.

We landed in France on storm Brian a couple of years ago and it was so bad that the wing clipped the ground with some sparks! That was almost as bad as an internal flight through a really bad thunderstorm in Texas in the late 80s. The plane had many Mexican passengers who were crying and praying. I guess the prayers worked!

I am so glad I don't fly. That makes me even more scared than I am already, to get on a plane.

I had a really frightening flight from Heathrow to Singapore on the way to Melbourne.After about 10 minutes the inflight entertainment packed in.I had to make polite conversation to the person next to me for hours
