I didn't give it much thought at the time as we were attempting to avoid the wet seats and wiping goo off from top to bottom! I didn't catch everything he said but would like to know what "it" was.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381420182046810738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198872346667249272.post-46467882345435623242008-05-07T07:41:00.000-05:002008-05-07T07:41:00.000-05:00eek! terrifying...we had one of those white knuckl...eek! terrifying...we had one of those white knuckle flights on the way to Tortola for our honeymoon -- I was sure that was it for us!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126020306336088613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198872346667249272.post-63534305503787964662008-05-06T13:13:00.000-05:002008-05-06T13:13:00.000-05:00Not to scare you even more, but I have read (I'm a...Not to scare you even more, but I have read (I'm a horrible flyer and think knowledge is power) that 75% or so of turbulence is caused by an aircraft in front of you (hence the reason it's so common in take off and landing). Sounds like you guys practically had a near miss if he had to dive and change altitude like that. All I know is that I'm very glad it was short lived and you guys are all okay.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198872346667249272.post-3714316715045238452008-05-06T08:27:00.000-05:002008-05-06T08:27:00.000-05:00Yikes!
