Title: Getting on a tiny plane....
Post by: spotcolorsupply on December 17, 2012, 09:48:19 AM
I Hate flying....

Going to tupelo ms to install our last Titan (servo/AC should be really nice).

I knew the plane would be small, but then they tell me I have to get on a bus to get to the plane...

So now my stomach is in knots...

Hoping my buddy Heineken can calm my nerves...

And yes, I realize I am more likely to die in a car wreck, but for some reason that doesn't help at all.

Haha, thanks guys... I feel way better!

I called in some back up... Heineken's step brother Jaegermeister...

I am with Ron tho... If we go down, aim for something hard! I don't want to limp away from this  :P

if it makes you feel any better, I've been in the small planes a lot. The takeoff has always been without a hitch. Can't tall you about the landing though, did not stick around for those! :)

No no no... The plane held 33. It was propellor driven, but it had 2 (Yay). The flight was actually not bad, smooth the whole way, but I still didn't like it.

Weird thing is, I would actually jump out of a plane, but I still don't like flying??

We have a Saab 340A, 30 seater which services our little airport.....It is a great little plane and I love flying on it.....
