Elemental Fear
I flew home from Birmingham this evening. I fly fairly often and am not nervous when I do but as usual, as the aircraft was turning onto the runway and then began to hurtle down the runway gathering speed, I thought to myself that this is the point of highest risk/least control. As usual also, everything was fine.
Worst landing ever in Belfast however, and I have been in some doozies! The wings were swing as much as six or eight feet coming into land due to crosswinds – first time I’ve ever grabbed for a sick bag which I thankfully didn’t need. Scary shit! I really expected that some part of the plane other than the wheels would touch the ground first.
Collective gasp from all concerned when we actually touched down – time for a Pampers 
Eeeek, and its posts like these that remind me why i hate flying! I would simply have died when landing in belfast if it was like that! The last time i flew to and from glasgow was the first weekend of the snow, it was scary enough, although we had a text book landing, the smoothest i have even been in. and I was still bricking it lol!
