A friend I had in school was actually in a hijacking. Some drunk idiot, with what turned out to be an air-gun, hijacked the plane. He told me they werent allowed to go to the toilet, so he had to piss in his pants.

Eventually the moron was arrested, after he traded the air-gun for a case of beer.

Sounds like a fun ride for sure.

sounds horrible - Ive had a few that were pretty scary as well

If you wanna laugh

I used to fly an Eastern Metro puddle jumper to Hilton Head from Atlanta about every month or so for business. It was a little 8 seater. The aiport in HH was SMALLER than the one in "Wings" and had their own dog, cat and bird to keep you entertained while you waited :)

One day we were flying into a VERY bad storm. Those who live on the southern east coast know how quickly they can pop up, and had to fly about a mile or two over the ocean and make our approach from a different direction than normal. Not to mention the plane was bouncing ALL OVER THE PLACE as soon as we hit the weather. And unlike a jet, it couldn't fly over it. There was a guy on the flight who had just been told his brain cancer was in remission. He said "Gee - wouldn't it be ironic if I survived all that to die in a plane crash?" NOT something I wanted to think about!

Eastern went on strike about a year after I started that territory so eventually I flew in Delta into Savannah and drove to HH. But I'll never forget that ONE flight. Ever. And yes, I still love to fly - even the small planes - and would like to take flying lessons :)

You haven't had a bad flying experience until you've been stranded in Los Andes and eaten a couple of your fellow passengers.

Yes I know that feeling security always flags my laptop and it gets swabbed and tested a lot :( but ya it's good to keep it "clean" when travelling across the border.

Sounds like we have the same luck in airline experiences, Ace!! We have had those kinds of things happen on our flights too :(

Plane broken, something wrong with the fuel valve, 5-hour delay, United staff not wanting to help you out, missing the connecting flight to Amsterdam, staying a night in Chicago, arriving a day later than planned.

Does this count? :/

Oops, I accidentally posted under Lenny2's name instead of mine. It's still funny though. :1orglaugh

Oh man that's a good one. Don't know if I have you beaten but i got a shitty one as well.

Leaving Montreal with Jetsgo to go to Vancouver several years ago. We take off and right after take off the plane starts shaking and pilot says we must turn around and land back to Montreal... No biggie.

We go back down, wait about 4 hours with a coupon for a cheeseburger a fry and a coke. They call us back we board, I asked is this another plane and girl says no it's same plane, no worries they changed the part... Yeah Right, no worries!!!

We go back up and it took a bit longer but again plane starts shaking like crazy, like a dirt bike going over bumps and looking out the window i clearly see we are not gaining altitude and we seem to be turning ans St-Laurent river is approaching. NOw people are freaking out in the plane and mind you the fucking pilot doesn't think to speak up and reassure everyone. We are now going down water getting closer and this lady shouts "OMG we are going to die" I look behind the stewerdess as her head between her knees, that's when i said to myself "Great, we are going to die"

Anyways was one of the roughest landing i ever experienced and when back the fuckers did not say anything told us a new plane would fly but it will take an yet again 6 hours to get here.

Said fuck that, went to aircanada counter and never flew again with them.

They went bankrupt several years after that.

Aside from some horrifically bumpy flights the worst I've had was where when taking off the plane (it was beyond full) ran out of runway as it struggled to get into the air.

The tyres hit some barrier at the end of the road and I was sitting at the back of the plane listening to all the flight attendants freaking out that there was damage done to the tyres and how the hell are we going to land now.

14 hours of 'I'm going to die soon' later we landed ok, if a bit lopsided. Took some convincing to get me on the plane home lol

I don't like that way of transport...

I have been forced to wait until the next day to catch connecting flights a couple times.

That always sucks.

A 8 hour journey turns into a 30 hour one. The airlines always pay for the hotels though.

hey Mark remember the flight from Amsterdamn to Munich this year on the small plane and then it dipped big time in mid air. LOL!

Good thing we were all shitfaced or that would have scared us LMAO!

DH

Haha! F that, I would have done the same, I would have told them to put me on a train.
Sounds shitty.

You guys suck....beside the ID story the rest is normal administration.....all this fuss for nothing?

Somehow I ended up watching almost the entire "Mayday" marathon Discovery channel was showing in early January this year. I must say that made me much more observant than I usually am while flying, and I made sure to ask for a seat above the WING. No way am I sitting up front or in the tail.

LOL, odly enough, I do not rememer that flight........:Oh crap

Only had to break out the bibles once!

Damn Mark that sounds rough
Glad you made it out ok :)

I haven't flown for a while but I remember that there used to be a sharp "rap rap" when first taking off, like a car travelling over a bridge seam. First time I heard it I thought the ass had hit the ground. I still don't know what causes that.

Another fun thing was what sounded like a kitchen knife as we were taxiing... I think it was actually the pilots testing the flaps. :1orglaugh I was a kid back then so I didn't know any better. :1orglaugh

Glad you arrived safely Ace... sorry you had a shitty day :/
