Describe Your Worst Flying Experience. Was it Worth It?

1 Answer

Answer :

All of them are bad for me, but I really don’t like to fly. The time that was the most unnerving was during a landing when, at very close to the ground, the plane shot straight back up into the air. It scared everyone. A pilot happened to be sitting next to me and said either another plane was on our runway or a wind thing. This was a layover for me but I could not get back on the plane. I rented a car and drove the rest of the way home.
