Hey now.
You think I was scared? nuh uh, no way!
Jacko was far from scared.
At least that is what I wanted you to think.
I had this wrapped up, all under my belt.
Collar on my jacket up, Levi’s looking good…
I was ready, try and stop me!
The pilot greets us on our way up…
As I look back, I forgot to duck and “Thump”, I smacked into the doorway.
After recovering from seeing eighteen hundred stars, I was ready to board.
Let’s try that again, “duck” under the doorway…
Good idea!
(You see I got smarter the second time around)
I walked down and sat in the closest chair to the door, ready to run at any given time.
I grabbed the seatbelt, and I’ll be damned if I could've figured out how to use the fucking thing…
Eventually after watching and giggling at me struggling with the flipping thing…the pilot walks on over and buckles me up…
“Why thank you, sir” I said…
He strolls on over to his seat, and starts the engines…
I look around, behind me, and everyone is at ease.
Heads tilted back and ready for take off.
I could feel my heart beating in my throat.
Was I nervous?, yup, I’d say so!
As we take off, and lift into the air, I could feel my stomach drop to my toes.
Then rise as fast as it could to the back of my throat
I tell ya, this was worse then an amusement park ride…
I have a whole new out look on rollercoasters now…
Gah!
Ok, so I survived take off, I am doing good.
Put my head back as everyone else was doing.
I am cool, I can do this.
Then I swear to god it felt like we hit a tone of bricks, the force so bad that it lifted me right off my seat.
I got air, while I was IN the air…I found this rather amusing….
3 inches off the seat and I am grabbing for anything I could get my hands on.
Turbulence, Well what the hell is that?
Don’t these things come with a manual, explaining this?
Do they forget newbie’s ride once in awhile?
White knuckled I am holding on for dear life,
My head is shaking, the plane rocking from side to side, and I could see my life flash before my eyes.
The lady next to me, reaches over and puts her hand on my shoulder…
She hollars over at me, “Are you alright son?”
I was too petrified to realize that she called me a dude, until I got OFF the plane.
I nodded as I was trying so hard, to keep my lunch in my stomoch!
That was it, I wasn’t letting go!
No way, No how!!
2 hours and I clung to that chair like nobody’s business.
After the plane stopped throwing me around the cab, I tried for the second time to relax.
I finally begin to breathe properly and the funny looking guy in blue comes over the intercom.
Telling us we will be landing in 10 minutes.
I could feel the plane start to shake again as we became lower in elevation…
I was not ready for this!!
I grabbed onto the bottom of the seat and closed my eyes.
I loud “Thud” and the plane had landed.
Thanking the lord above, I was on solid ground.
Then I was thrown forward, smacking my head yet once again on the seat in front of me, as the brakes were applied.
Kudos to the mechanics, the brakes work, I have scars to prove it!!
Ok, Let me off this thing NOW!
I was the first off!
I dropped to me knees and kissed the cold pavement.
I just wanted to lie there but apparently on the runway, it was a bad idea.
I ran inside and from this day forward, I am glad to be alive.
One wish, PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME DO THAT AGAIN!
