Why I ALWAYS kept my seatbelt fastened...

Featured Replies

I always kept my seatbelt fastened when travelling commercial.  And, of course, never unbuckled when flying GA aircraft.

I was flying on a Frontier CV580 from Denver to Pueblo Colorado once and the entire flight was heavy turbulence.  They bypassed the scheduled stop in Colorado Springs.  The stew was handing out barf bags.  When she came to me I told her I was having fun.  You pay 25 cents a minute to do this in an amusement park.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

I always do too, when seated. You never know when your head will hit the ceiling.

Have you noticed how it's only the ladies that do the screaming when it's turbulent? The men act cool, like they are too hard to bother about such things.

Apart from my daughter. She loves it. She once said to me that her ideal flight is one where you almost crash but not quite. 🙄

I keep my seat belt fastened and snug.  Turbulence is unpredictable, there are no "bump ahead" signs in the sky.
