My name is James, and it’s been quite a while since I had been on a plane. More than 10 years ago was the last time I fainted when flying. It was pretty clear to me that something was wrong, yet I didn’t feel or think that I was scared of flying, it just happened. Anyway, I holidayed around home and in the same country for a while after that, getting on a plane again didn’t really occur to me. About 2 years into my marriage, it was time to face my fears and get on a plane, all that way to Egypt, a massive mission!
Right, flashbacks of jumping on the plane happy as Larry and waking up on the other side (without any recollection of flight) started to happen… When i came back from my previous holiday I passed out on my way back as well, so I haven’t actually experienced flying yet! So there was the plane, choices had to be made, and the choice to turn around and run wasn’t there. At the beginning everything seemed fine, I had a steady heart rate, and I wasn’t sweating at all, things just seemed to be going very well. Even after the four massive engines under the wings started going and we approached the run way i was fine!
I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t pass out this time, or why I passed out the last time, everything just seemed to be fine this time. I was actually getting pretty excited about my holiday now. I was really looking forward to getting to Egypt, and then jumping back on the plane. Then it started! Over the Tannoy I could hear the Captain announce we were heading into some rough turbulence. Things got really bad, the plane felt as though it was going to crack up in the sky, and there was even a light storm brewing outside. And then all of sudden it stopped, but my heart didn’t. I never thought I would be saying this, but I kind of wish I blacked out!
Egypt holidays Didn’t actually appeal to me that much, and i never went back, next up was a choice between Maldives holidays or Sri Lanka holidays, both involve a aeroplane!
Very awesome post, I very agree with you! By the way, I find your blog very interesting, I’ll add it to my bookmarks
