Even though its an older fleet of planes that flies out of Columbus I haven't heard of any close calls in quite a while . You will be OK statistically .
Aeroplanes are really just flying coffins, often with a crematory option included at no extra cost.(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/9/91/Plane_crash-261x143.jpg)(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/3/34/3177319_f520.jpg)(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/4/49/Indiaplanecrash.jpg)(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/e/e0/Belle_harbor_crash.jpg)(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/b/b5/Miami-Airplane-Accident-Attorney-Lawyer.jpg)

He's already sent a few of these, but I'll add the others to my new collection.
My brother said you can't drink anything before boarding.
If anything does happen, please add me to the memorial list. Indirectly, it would still be a death from the result of AIDS. :o
My brother said you can't drink anything before boarding.the layover in PIT (between CAK and CLT) is an hour, which has always been just long enough for me to stop at one of the bars, in the terminal between the gates, to down two margaritas before boarding ;)
Fear not, Wolfie, we included CONFIDENTIWILLBEOK (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=29883.0) after his fatal skydiving accident, and we'll include you too.
(for a price - PM me for the pricing list.) ;D
AirBus is quite a good plane.
They have only had a few tails fall off, which unfortunately resulted in this:

Good luck ;D
Air travel? How passe'.
AMTRAK is the way to go. It takes longer, but its more fun and you get to see the countryside.
Next, we will graduate to oceanic travel - perhaps starting with the cruise to Hawaii. It takes two weeks altogether. What a delight, but I would probably be a weight comperable to a blue whale when I lgot back. Too muck food on those things.
HUGS,
Mark
I second the request to be added to the memorial list if I should die in travel! In fact, not to be morbid or anything, but if I die for some reason anyway, will you guys remember me anyway?

Flying Coach to Seattle?

;D
You'd walk to Seattle if the tequila was free.
MtD
ah yes.. the old "Texans and their Tequila". Never gets old.
Viva Texas. I'm surprised that you haven't posted a pic of yourself in a cowboy hat like some other tired queens that I won't name.

Thanks for making my day Will.

Think about it. If she leaves at first light she can probably make it in her yellow submarine, since she's evidently not flying. Or perhaps she's going to jet-ski to Honolulu and ride a manatee from there. Really, there are so many options.
Goodness, I just realized it's tomorrow afternoon already down there. Did she mean her Friday or our Friday?
I had tears running down my face during the "Turbulance" scene

Wolfter, I'm still amazed this will be your very first plane trip. But believe you me, you're going to have a really good time Congrats on going outside your comfort zone. Can't wait to meet you buddy!

They call it a 'light chop' but as you know it can be a wild ride. The only bumpy part of the trip should be when you pass over the Rockies.
This should probably be in the "Am I infected forums", but if we crash in the Rockies and they eat me, can they get HIV?
Certainly not if they cook you first. If they eat you raw immediately after your death, maybe. You should disclose to anyone who is thinking about eating you raw. ;D
So I need to hurry up and disclose before we reach the scene of the crash? ;D Or maybe a wrist band? In case of hunger, do not eat. I am HIV!

Christ sakes, now my mother is in on it. She asked what I was planning to wear on the flight. I said I wasn't sure and hadn't thought about it. She indicated that I need to wear slacks in case of an accident and we need to make an emergency departure.
Wear lots of bling baby!! Just take the zero gage out before you get to the security check or you may be delayed a bit.

She indicated that I need to wear slacks in case of an accident and we need to make an emergency departure.yes, she's right. There were several reports out (yrs ago) that showed that people wearing long pants, long sleeves and non-nylon blends fare better in case of accidents, be they in cars or planes. Nylon-blend, rather than cotton-blend, clothing will melt in the heat of fire and stick to a person causing worse burns. Long pants and long sleeves will protect more from abrasions of flying debris or rough treatment. (same way jeans and a jacket protect a motorcyclist more from "road rash" during a accident)
Wear long pants, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes. Although you may want to be comfortable or professional-looking on a flight, sandals or high heels make it hard to move quickly within the wreckage. High heels are not allowed on the evacuation slides and you can cut your feet and toes on glass or get flammable liquids on or in your sandals if you wear them.
Loose or elaborate clothing also poses a risk, as it can get snagged on obstacles in the close confines of a plane. If you know you’re going to be flying over cold areas, dress appropriately, and consider keeping a jacket on your lap. You’ll need to be able to stay warm if you survive the crash. Even if that is not a consideration, the more of your body is covered during impact, the less likely you are to receive serious injuries or burns. Cotton or wool clothing is also preferable as it is less flammable. Wool is preferable to cotton when flying over water, as wool does not lose its insulating properties to the degree cotton does when wet.
