But back in the 80s, my sister and I were on our way home from a trip to Italy. We were in New York and managed to get tickets on a small plane to fly down to DC. It held maybe 20 people. It was a noisy and bumpy flight because we were flying through a storm. In fact, the storm had hit before we got on the plane. I still remember being drenched in my little pantsuit and sitting in that freezing cold AC, my wet hair plastered against my head. And to boot, we realized as we waited to get on the plane that the long-haired guys waiting with us were Led Zeppelin. Needless to say, they did NOT hit on us.Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-48770867191270350122020-06-09T20:07:14.456-04:002020-06-09T20:07:14.456-04:00Joan, those big jets are comfortable and fast, but...Joan, those big jets are comfortable and fast, but for seeing the country smaller planes are the best!Cathy Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275758996612230885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-28783948292507182472020-06-08T22:15:47.546-04:002020-06-08T22:15:47.546-04:00My first plane ride was in a 5 seater!

Faith, some people would call the plane you rode on a puddle jumper, but I call it an airliner! Caryl, thanks for adding OFF THE GROUND to your shelf - let me know what you think! Sarah, I hope you'll enjoy flying with Corrie! Esther, I got to fly in a small plane with a missionary pilot who flies in Ecuador - rugged country! Patricia, no doubt your airline had a larger plane than Corrie's two-seat biplane! Thanks all, for sharing your airplane stories!<br /><br />Cathy Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275758996612230885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-7845044500739698952020-06-08T20:58:53.508-04:002020-06-08T20:58:53.508-04:00I don't know.

Cathy, you have such a wealth of lie experiences and talents to draw from when writing your novels!<br /><br />I have only been on a plane once, it was a commercial airplane with one aisle down the middle and 2 seats on either side, I think there were about 40 of us on the plane. It is the smallest and biggest plane that I have ever been on ;)<br /><br />crazi.swans @ gmail dot comFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150290024386704712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-52483846052616717792020-06-08T17:13:32.675-04:002020-06-08T17:13:32.675-04:00When our two kids were young, we all went to an ai...When our two kids were young, we all went to an airshow. Each plane fit six people. So our family of four and two pilots got to fly up. That started our son loving planes. He fell in love with the Tuskegee Airmen before that time. After we flew that day, he got to talk to three of these wonderful men. They were so excited to have a young man of six, who knew so much about them, that they spent extra time with our son. They gave him some things that they didnt have on the table for everyone else to take. He has them along with a picture of him standing with these men in a memory box on his wall to this day. He is now 35. Oh one random thing about me? I did rodeo barrel racing for a few years.<br />quilting dash lady at comcast dot netLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378468202427454948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-29333838982939519602020-06-08T16:50:04.964-04:002020-06-08T16:50:04.964-04:00What fun to fly with your Grandfather, Stacy!
