Johnny Come Lately Name Posted August 26, 2020 Share #10 Posted August 26, 2020 2006, I think. We went to Vegas for Interbike. I was borderline homicidal by the time I got off the plane....only to walk into Mccarran airport and be forcefully reminded that not all places have banned smoking. It was like being punched in the nose by a big stinky fist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to follow. For me, last flight was back from California last Sept, so coming up on a year. That's about as long as I've gone without flying for a few decades, so sort of sad about it (not the flying, the traveling). My brother flew from NJ-CO last week and his flight was full both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted August 26, 2020 Share #21 Posted August 26, 2020 I last flew in Aug. 2017, the return leg of a round-trip to Baltimore from Ft. Lauderdale, FL after an extended family 1-week West Caribbean beginning and ending at Miami. I don't fly often - usually every 2-3 years for a major vacation. So I even have a picture of my last plane flight. I'm on the far side, 2nd row, aisle seat with the blue shirt on a Southwest Airlines 737 (the only plane SWA flies). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted August 26, 2020 Share #22 Posted August 26, 2020 March 1, 2020. Flew Aruba to BWI and then into Pittsburgh. No one wore masks, but BWI was a ghost town. Very eerie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted August 26, 2020 Share #23 Posted August 26, 2020 Probably 2007 to Minneapolis for business. I spent way too much time on way too many planes for way too long to want to jump on one for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted August 26, 2020 Share #24 Posted August 26, 2020 June of 2008 flying back from Italy. Short story.. That flight was horrible. Longer version.... We found out (the hard way) on the return trip that Alitalia overbooks their flights a LOT. We had (at least on paper) reserved seating. Not so much,.. when we tried to check in for the flight. The flight was full, before we got there about 2 1/2 hours early. I was upset... WoBG was SUPER upset. We had to book a return flight, when we got that done, WoBG just kind of exploded on the poor person at the desk. She did get about $2100 back in debit cards for the inconvenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted August 26, 2020 Share #27 Posted August 26, 2020 January 2017 for me. We flew back after I drove the moving truck down to AZ when our girls moved. I’ve driven the past 4 times down there. It’s a nice drive and gives us a chance to see @roadsue and family. WoW did fly on her trips to help with eldest daughter’s chemo that summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted August 26, 2020 Share #29 Posted August 26, 2020 A couple of weeks ago. I was out at the local airport and I hopped a ride with a buddy who was taking his 172 up for a flight around the patch. We were up for about 45 mins and about 1,000 feet high just looking at things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a summer camp thing where we got to fly for a week. Pretty awesome. I was about 13 and got to handle the controls once from the co-pilot seat. Haven’t been in a small craft since.

Bikeguy Posted August 26, 2020 Share #32 Posted August 26, 2020 I've been in a few small planes. Once I took a trial flight school lesson. I decided buying a airline ticket (or driving) would be way cheaper than getting into plane ownership or rental, and fuel cost, etc... Helicopters... I've been in a few of those too. During work a few times. In Alaska WoBG took a tour, landed on a glacier up in the mountains. OMG was that a beautiful flight over the mountains. Hot air balloon trip in Sedona AZ. That was amazing... The best part the heights didn't bother me at all. (climbing a 26 foot ladder to paint the old home, scared me to death sometimes) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted August 27, 2020 Share #37 Posted August 27, 2020 Flown in helicopters while fighting forest fires, flown in small planes mainly over the prairies in South Dakota, and flown in small passenger planes, where they took our names and phone numbers as we were approaching College Station and called our wives to report our arrival. On the College Station flights, one of the passengers got to be in the co-pilot seat. We flew in storms that kept the big airlines grounded. If the weather was too bad, we just pooled our resources and rented a car and drove from Dallas to College Station. Normally, there was always a group of Aggies at the airport on Friday nights headed for home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
