On top of your bad weather, that’s when the Lockheed Electras and de Havilland Comets were falling out of the skies with structural failures.
Flying from San Francisco to Tokyo in 1987 we encountered some turbulence.
It wasn’t even all that bad, but I was seated in the tail of a United L1011.
Looking forward, I could watch the restrooms, overhead bins and other parts of the plane moving in different directions.
I was sure the structure was coming apart when someone commented that “this must be one of those old Panam Lockheed L1011s that United acquired.”
