You're right. I've got to get on a bloody plane in 6 weeks, I can't help but think they may be using it for terrorist purposes and be holding it somewhere until the time is right. What happened to the people on board, now that is the question.

Air travel is still safer than most other forms of transport. That's why this doesn't make sense, it was a good airline and should have been subjected to the same maintenance program as a 777 in the us or uk etc.

Mind you, the 777 I came back from Vegas on lash yeah was absolutely hanging!

Exactly, that's why it's worrying.

I'm not a problem flyer, I think getting on an Airbus in Egypt from Sharm to Cairo and back was the making of me! Was sure the wing was going to fall off!

Used to love flying. Flight back from CL Final in 2006 shit me right up. Everyone on the plane thought we were going to crash straight after take off outa Brussels. Fucking plane was flying around the place like jizz on a porn film set. People were crying, praying, the air hostesses looked shit scared. When the fucking mental Dutch pilot finally got the fucker under control and up into the sky, I literally drank myself fucking stupid. I'm talking Hlebby level stupid here! Honestly I never flew sober after that one. When we landed in Dublin the whole planeload of us clapped and cheered with huge big shit-eating grins on our faces!!

I think they flew WITH falangee's on,that's the issue! was a shocking flight, felt like driving along an A road with potholes everywhere!

I love flying and have had flying lessons but the first one was with an old boy that thought he was flying a spitfire and we were in a dog fight

I was frantically looking around for a fucking Messerschmitt

Actually he was a brilliant pilot and did some stunts after asking me if I was up for it, he said that back in the day that there were 3 tests where the plane is out of your control and yo have to right it.

he did the first 2 and literally my heart was in my mouth, he then said the 3rd was a lot more g-force and that in the 6 months of flying out of exeter only a woman had said she would do the 3rd, well I wasn't letting the lads own so said "course mate no problem".

Fuck me sideways no wonder no one wanted to do it!!!!! he takes the plane up till it stalls then rolls it over to my fucking side and i thought please door dont fucking fly open And with this ww have zero fucking gravity my arm flies up in the air and I felt my wrist smack him in the side of the head, and I'm being honest here, I didn't want to look at him cos I thought "I've knocked the *word censored* out" , we then spiral straight down like a plane that has been shot down, by now I'm convinced I've knocked the *word censored* out and we are going to fuckin die, I couldn't even think of doin fuck all but strain against my seat with my stomach now firmly in my throat, then all of a sudden the plane pulls out of the spin and levels out

The silly old fucker was alive and it was all part of this routine, he looked at me and said "you ok" I said "yeah mate, cool" He said that is not part of the test nowadays as it is too dangerous No shit Sherlock

Anyhow when we landed, I got out of the plane kissed the ground and did the 3 crosses on the chest (I ain't even religious but someone had to be thanked ), we went into the pilots office and he was telling the other pilots what we had done, they all did this face and asked what it was like and was I ok, I could only reply, "yeah great"

My missus was waiting for me and we went to a pub for lunch and that was THE best pint of guinnness I have ever had

Was a great rush though tbf and knocks roller coasters into a cocked hat

Sounds quality! Suppose any turbulence would be like walking over pavement cracks to you now

Sounds quality! Suppose any turbulence would be like walking over pavement cracks to you now

Well, given the size of LeftyEwok, negotiating a standard pavement crack would still involve ropes, crampons and the guidance of a local Sherpa!

That's possibly the most hilarious story I've ever read.

The part about you not wanting to look at him for fear you'd KO'd your pilot had me in stitches.
