On a trip back from Florida had to go over the mountain range to Pa....in a Cargo Plane no less! The noise alone was enough to give you a headache! But the turbulence took me for a ride I won’t ever forget!
Sounds you will NEVER forget it. What do they say about "no atheists in fox holes"? I'd say the same about flying in heavy turbulence.
I decided last year that I won't be going to anywhere beyond the USA and Canada anymore. I really have had enough of long distance flying.
