Had that happen on a flight last year, from Atlanta to Charlotte. Loud bang after gear up, plane leveled off, pilot announce RTB. Turns out a maintenance door popped open.

Tightened sphincters all around...

Been flying since I was a baby. DC-9 Jumpseat to a 787 over the decades. Had turbulence that slammed drinks in our hands to the overhead console. I’m very sure that the Biggest Scare I was in was coming into DFW at night in a Medium Sized Texas “Rain Shower” with some pretty heavy windshear in a 757 and about 50’ AGL IT WAS THROTTLE ON AND GEAR UP!!!

A “Smaller Jet was in the way” is what the Captain told Us after we were gaining separation...

Cudos to the Crew. Made it sound like making an order at a drive through burger place.

Thank You ALL CREWMEMBERS for everything Y’ALL do the most could never comprehend to keep Us safe.

Atlanta to Charlotte? What’s flight time, 15 min?
