On occasion I will take trips with my wife, her for business, me just playing the role of a kept man. I personally do not care for flying though she flies about 4 times a month, so she’s a pro.
On a recent trip back from California descending into Charlotte at night, we were going through storm clouds and typical turbulence, no big deal. Then suddenly out of the blue the aircraft just seemed to go into absolute freefall for a good five or six seconds, then it caught the wind and continued on normally. The only thing was during the fall I yelled out OH F**k! in a very quiet airplane. The lady beside my wife just said “Well, that was interesting.”
Needless to say I was very embarrassed, it just came out…

So you follow your wife around while SHE works, and you cuss when the turbulence scares you….why don't you grow a pair.
speaking of growing a pair, it sure takes a lot of balls to insult someone anonymously through the internet, doesn't it?
oh wait.
I think I would have done the same thing. I used to NEVER be scared to fly, but after a few rough turbulant flights, I get so anxious through out the whole thing! One little bump and i'm saying, Oh my God, and praying like theres no tommorrow!! lol
I am now a pro flier, and turbulence dosen't scare me, it's those damn air pockets with the free fall that scares the sh-t out of me.
Flight from….neutral location.
