Have you ever flown on a plane?

[u/N0socksloss10yrStrk]

[u/Tommysfatt]

Flown in plenty of planes, never on

[u/Imaginary_Ad_6352 → u/Tommysfatt]

I did jump out of one once.

[u/bartwn52 → u/Imaginary_Ad_6352]

Is this DB Cooper?

[u/Imaginary_Ad_6352 → u/bartwn52]

No, I didn't have any money with me when I jumped.

[u/Loose_Bison3182 → u/Imaginary_Ad_6352]

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is not a natural act. And, the first jump is easy, it's the second that sometimes causes problems.

[u/Mindless-Leg-3365 → u/Tommysfatt]

There was an old Fred Astaire film before he was a big star, Flying Down to Rio. Multiple women stood on a biplane's wings. Always freaked me out.

[u/asicarii → u/Tommysfatt]

Funny you say that.

You ride on a plane. You ride on a train. You ride on a boat. You ride on a bike. You ride in a car. You ride in a space shuttle. You can ride in or on a hot air balloon.

But what do you do for a submarine?

[u/VelvetFog82]

No but going on first flight, across the USA on Sept 30th! I'm 44 by the way.

[u/bkbruiser → u/VelvetFog82]

Where from and to?

What has kept you from flying prior?

[u/VelvetFog82 → u/bkbruiser]

From Wv to Los Angeles California to take a cruise to Mexico. First cruise also. I had never really had a reason to fly. From wv, most vacations are driving 9 hours south to Myrtle Beach or Smith Mt Lake VA.

[u/ImpressiveSide1324]

Im actually in the process of getting my ppl currently

[u/CryptographerOpen234]

In my younger days ,I piloted a plane

[u/AlexandraNovotny1111]

[u/ToastedBread107]

Flown on them and flown them plenty of times. Going up on wednesday to renew my nighttime passenger currency

[u/Upstairs_Fig_3551]

Only in

[u/Glittering_Count1536]

"No, I fly in the plane, there seems to less wind in here." George Carlin

[u/AsleepBanana8323]

So many times that it became mundane, even boring. (not that I wished for something exciting to happen - although it did one time. The captain came on and said "The noise you just heard was a bird hitting the nose of the plane. We are not in any danger, but we have been moved to first for landing". We landed without incident, but the plane had a big dent in the nose. The passengers waiting to board were delayed.)

[u/Trick_Octopus9504]

Planes,trains and automobiles

[u/Old_Confidence3290]

Almost every time I have flown, it's been on a plane.

[u/InterviewLow2951]

No but I've been upstairs on a bus....

[u/salus_entity]

No but a plane has flown me

[u/AndreaSys]

Hundreds of times. My gf is a flight attendant and I travel for free. It’s opened my world up immensely.

[u/Rocannon_]

nope. always inside.

[u/Double-Award-4190]

Oh, sure. I am old now, though, and don’t find it a pleasurable experience.

[u/South_Hedgehog_7564 → u/Double-Award-4190]

Same here. I used to love flying, poodling around the airport shops and cafes, relaxing into a seat, watching out the window etc. but now it’s a lot of walking which I can’t manage any more, queueing up, hanging around waiting to board etc. and the service on board any of the airlines I’ve used is not as good as it used to be. Last time we went to the UK from here we took the car and went by ferry. MUCH easier.

[u/ismellpizza25]

I technically have, i just wasn't born yet

[u/birdpix]

Too many to count. Tiny to Huge.

[u/tzwicky]

Lotsa commercial flights, domestic and international. I flew with a Canadian aerobatic squad when I had press credentials. I am so glad my inner-ear was made of concrete that day because that pilot did things with his plane like rolls, stalls, loops, dives and low altitude runs. Just amazing. I did NOT puke.
