This is the reason I don’t fly much anymore.
I am sick and tired of turbulence like this.
Usually I pray and do the farther son and holy spirit cross each time we get turbulence. The worst time was over Queenstown in New Zealand flying on an A320 through thick mountain clouds. I was absolutely horrified. Even the hostess squeeled. Its enough to make me so scared that I dont want to go flying again …. but to get around it seems you have to these days.

no, i’m not pretending to be either i’m just giving my opinion. I’ve had a go on a cessna 172 but thats about it. I just think there’s a general perception that being a pilot is like some kind of superstar nad i don’t think thats the right

@NewYankee01 So why is no one else on the plane standing, why does the ladies head right in front of the camera smack against the window and why are the seatbelt lights turned on?

good observations but do you think it might be because the plane is climbing to cruising altitude or landing as 16000ft is nowhere near for cruising, the woman head smaking thing is just one little jerk and the guy coming down the central isle is coming to tell the guy to sit down and thats why he stops filming, sits down and fades out because he doesnt want the film interupted by a safety lecture?

just got back to UK from china, we had turbulence through a mountain range in Russia and it was horrid, i was sitting on the wing (on the seat, not the actual wing) and i could see the wing bending up and down like crazy… plus i needed a shit, but you’re not allowed to leave your seat

if you say that then you don’t like flying, look for “youtube pilot life” video and you will probably change your mind
