My name is James, and it’s been quite a while since I had been on a plane. In fact were talking more like 13 years, and the last time I passed out. Now I didn’t feel as though I had a fear of flying, I have never really been scared about the prospect of flying, I just passed out. Going back on to a plane was very low on my priority list, and decided to stay at home for holidays in future, may sound sad, but obviously it wasn’t in the house. About 2 years into my marriage, it was time to face my fears and get on a plane, all that way to Egypt, a massive mission!
Just remembering how little I did actually remember of flying was scary enough… Something else I better tell you as well, this also happened on the previous return flight as well… So I may have started to panic a little bit, even though I didn’t know what I was panicking about! So there was the plane, choices had to be made, and the choice to turn around and run wasn’t there. So I sat down, and nothing seemed to happen, my heart wasn’t racing and everything seemed fine, I could see straight as well. Even after the four massive engines under the wings started going and we approached the run way i was fine!
I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t pass out this time, or why I passed out the last time, everything just seemed to be fine this time. I was actually getting pretty excited about my holiday now. I was eager to get back on the plane and get flying again. Everything just couldn’t stay going all smooth could it! The Captain in a loud but confident voice, boomed that we were going to be hitting some turbulence. Things got really bad, the plane felt as though it was going to crack up in the sky, and there was even a light storm brewing outside. I couldn’t believe it but I made it, however somehow I did. I never thought I would be saying this, but I kind of wish I blacked out!
Egypt holidays turned out to be something I never returned to, next up was a decision between Maldives holidays or Sri Lanka holidays, both involve a plane!
