Agent, I get the distinct impression you're rich...:P
ive been on a plane 10 timesI thought only 737's flew into orlando. ???
4 to disney world Boeing 777
6 to portugal Airbus A380 1st class
I dont go on airplanes. ::)
Weirdo
WAY TO DANGERIOUS!
How? I have never crashed or died.
And from what Im to understand that shey dont regulary clean the air filters so your breathing in someones flu/diseased air.
They filter over and over. And they clean them after every flight.
Plus from what im to understand the food sucks. :D (kind of like the school food) ;D
Bring your own sandwich or other food on your carry on.
And by the way SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Ship sim is the happyest person on the east coast(possiably)
I have another week, although I am suspended so it doesn't matter. I have had the last 3 months off. ::)
Expensive :oNot really that is cheap for a plane.
What size llama? Is it yours or do you rent it? Is it paid off are are you still paying off the loan?
Is flying a bit scary? How did you feel when you first flew?I don't remember when I first flew, the worst parts are take-off and landing.
Finally someone who finally sees the cost that goes into buying a plane, When I talk to my friends they say...
Boat:$5,000 Try $20,000+
The bit in the middle is boring....Yes it is even boring for the pilot. ::)
Well, I think I am going to freak out when I am in the air. Do you go through clouds in the air?Depends if it is cloudy out. You do but the pilots usually fly above the clouds and if there alt is in the clouds they request to climb/descend. It isn't really that bad, if you don't like it get an aisle seat instead of a window. ;)
Well, my mom got us a great deal on airline tickets, but it is supposed to be in the isle. I really wanted to know what the ground looks like from a plane.I will take some video of take-off/landing in 2 weeks when I leave. I have some pics somewhere around here.
Alright, I would love to see the vids and pics. As I said, I am departing on july 2nd, so I think I will know how it looks from thousands of feet up in the air. I hope ;D.Sweet, I should have vidoes/images posted by June 24th/25th since I am leaving the 23rd. :) I'm not sure how my aunts internet connection is *prays for DSL or better*
Those pictures are breath taking in my opinion. How did you feel when you saw the sun setting on the horizon?It was pretty, on the way there I had to be on the side were the sun was directly in so I had the window cover closed the whole time or else when I was playing ship sim all I could see what whiteness. <3 laptops <3 ship sim <3 fold down trays
Yea, my grandmas connection sucked when I went on youtube at her house ;D.
ya and about 377knots or ~450mph or ~0.81mach at that 30,000ft :)More like .4 mach. :P Although I have been on the concord, it is at the museum down here. :)
All caculations are not even close because I'm to lazy to use a conversion factor.
Wow, you had a great opportunity to view the sunset and you abused it :D? All for the delight of videogames, tisk tisk.BTW fun flying at night and seeing all the little ants on the freeway. :P
QuoteOh. ::)
"More like .4 mach. Tongue Although I have been on the concord, it is at the museum down here."
ENDMy quote button is broken.
No I just did the calculation and it is really 0.66mach because the speed of sound is faster at altitude.
More like .4 mach. :P Although I have been on the concord, it is at the museum down here. :)
BTW fun flying at night and seeing all the little ants on the freeway. :PLOL! ;D. Isint it nice that all the ants wont bite you 3,000 feet in the air? :D.
LOL! ;D. Isint it nice that all the ants wont bite you 3,000 feet in the air? :D.Yeah best part is I leave early in the morning so I can take some nice photos. With sunrise and such.
Ohh so you do get to see the sunrise. My dad has been flying to columbia for years now but I havent goten the chance to go on an airplane to meet my family there :-\. All the reletives I know are from my moms side of the family because they are american and they all live in florida. My mom said that she will take me on a plane to columbia some day, so, I am still hoping ;).
Hmm, I really would like to go to columbia, and as a/a said, gas is very expensive. Its not that my family cant afford it, its just that columbia is the death capitol of the world :o! So tell me, how would you like it if your kid was in the death capitol of the world for a week? How do you think it would feel as a parent :P.Lol :P
My son has been there. But like me, he goes to a lot of dangerous places.
I don't think Columbia is the "death capital". Many war zones are far worse. I've been to some of them.
As with all things, taking sensible precautions, not going to places known to be risky and not doing things that mark you as a target will help a lot.
But, not going to dangerous places, unless you really HAVE to, makes a lot more sense...
Anyway, you Americans don't really know about high prices for fuel. You should live here, in the tax capital of the world. I paid about £1.10 per litre today. There are 4.5 litres per gallon, so that's £4.95 per gallon. There are about $2 = £1, so that's about $10/gallon.
Just checked my petrol receipt. I filled up at Membury Services on the M4 today and yes, that was about the same price.
As I said, "you Americans don't know about expensive fuel" (yet).
My mother-in-Law is American and she rings me every now and again to ask what the price of fuel is over here.
I once asked her why and she said "It makes things look so much better here in Florida!". ;D
Not really that is cheap for a plane.
What size llama? Is it yours or do you rent it? Is it paid off are are you still paying off the loan?
hang on it will check
no i dont have a fue million in my pocket right now i will check behind the sofa maybe it there ;D
My son has been there. But like me, he goes to a lot of dangerous places.Yes, I quite sure that columbia is the death capitol of the world, what with the gurrilas and all. Its just the small detail that I could get kidnapped by them. War zones are worse, but then again, the jungles in columbia are pretty much war zones because of the gurrilas.

You know, in the last 200 years, 100 new TAXES have been added to america. Back then, we were the most prosperous country in the world. I wonder why we arent now ::).
:O 16 days and ill be on a plane, btw have any of you seen an airbus a380? the new double decker one? i had the morning off scool and drove past heathrow to see one flying right in front of me :), they quite bigNo because they suck. We have never flown on airbus.
airbus looks good ;DThe 787 looks better.
i like big, so does airbus, its profitable :), i like boeing too, but airbus A380 looks better then aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll the boeings squashed up into one cake, i like the round front, and seeing it fly in front of you is incredible, with the big chunkiness, i wish i got some pics, ive seen 2 in my life, both because of being out of school LOL. anywayz im sure even you want to fly in the worlds largest passenger aircraft right
737's are miniscule, they are small, uncomfortable, scruffy, bad leather seats and tightly packed, and all planes run the risk of failures, and what if the A380 was coinsidentially at one of those 5 airports, anyway, its one of the most modern planes i know, it wont break
oh and about saftey
--- says:
The other argument would be that outside of the US the airlines are not regulated for safety like they are here in the US. Because of this Boeing places personnel at every airport and monitors every one of their airplanes to make sure maintenance schedules are being followed - if they aren't then they won't allow them to fly. Airbus does not do this. This alone makes Boeing airplanes, all of them, safer.
still people flying in a metel box at 500 mph 36,000 feet in the air is the saftest way to travel waird isent itIt is the safest way. Because even if something does happen there are hardly any in air crashes, you don't just fly out the door, there can be a failure, (and if your not in an a380) you can land safely like a glider. It is fail-safe. Anything that happens in the air can almost always be saved. Really the only thing that could go horribly wrong is if terrorists take over and crash you on purpose, if you hit another plane (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) or if your pilot is just dumb.
exsploive decompression rips the hull openAnd how often does that happen. ::)
never but it could under the right condistions it happend alot with old britsh jumbo jets as they has squear windose and after a cupel for year they would blow out takeing most if the plane with themPlease tell me you have flown before. Because you seem new to this whole plane thing. I have never been on a plane when anything has happened. Although when I went on my cruise one night both the main's blew and we had to run to port to get them fixed using what we had left in the generators.
what was the altitud on the second picture :)
I am going to north carolina on july 2 from florida. It is my first time flying EVER!, so I am expecting to get scared ;D.
