So I was flying today and while we cruise at 33,000 feet captains informs passengers over speaker that left engine has a leak and we need to return to airport because it's dangerous and we unlikely to make it to our destination. We flew for 40 minutes out of 2 hour trip before returning back to airport...

I was in the copilot seat in my old companies Navajo trying to land in Northern Kentucky once during a wild storm, we got hit by lightning and everything went haywire for a couple of seconds. Pilot was so stressed he lined up on the wrong runway in the driving rain, said "oh poo" and slid over to the correct one, then got lost on the ground when even Id been there enough to remember where the FBO was. I remember thinking how much fun that was..

During my time in the military, only once did I get to fly on a Helicopter.  It was a simple transfer from the USS Ponce to the USS Kearsarge using a CH46.   I didn't come close to getting sick, but once on a Helo was enough for me. 

 

I've only flown on a Chinook (CH-47, the Army's version) twice and both were pretty uneventful. But Blackhawk pilots love aggressive climbs and nose dives for no reason other than to mess with people. I like it... during the climb, you compress into your seat, then you immediately go weightless during the nose dive. Flying nap of the earth usually makes at least one person puke, especially when the pilots make the blackhawk swing like a pendulum.
