I hate flying...

[Davidson Deac II]

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.

 

Try riding back to a ship anchored out in Alexandria Egypt's harbor with 40 drunk Sailors and Marines in a motor Whaleboat if you want to see people puke.

I was in an H3 that ditched in the North Arabian Sea on our way back to the carrier after finishing- get this- a JAG investigation into a helo accident onboard a Spruance DD.

 

Nothing like getting drenched in spraying hydraulic fluid, having to jump into the open ocean and watching a helicopter roll over and sink in less than 20 seconds right after breakfast.

 

I love to fly, though. Just stay away from helicopters...

All Marine helicopters leak oil and that's ok with me. It's when it stops leaking oil is when I panic.

Helicopters have never scared me. Dad flew Cobras in the Army, and now flies for a hospital. Yes, I was the asshole betting the flight crew they couldn't get lower.

That's what I've always heard about Chinooks... if it ain't leaking, it's empty.

Once again I hate flying with a passion!

Flew in last night and during our landing the plane pulls up really hard and scared the poo out of everyone in the plane. People were crying and screaming. The pilot turns it around and apologizes an says that flight control put another plane to land at the same time and that he had to pull up to avoid it. My wife was scared shitless and the only thing I was thinking about my life insurance policy for my kids

When I was flying back to Knoxville from Sacramento a few weeks ago the turbulence was so bad that a lady started puking. I was scared shitless and thought we were going to crash.

This is why I take Amtrak or drive instead.
