Airborne

Madly accelerating down the runway
Passengers jolted backward
Lips pressed together
Pressure builds
Ears pop
In the blink of an eye
Airborne...
Flap your wings

I am right over the wing, wondering if I have the strength to help open the door!

everyone warned me of this for my first flight to chicago and then montana and i didn't feel much at all...i thought it was a great experience and my ears barely popped, i think they do so more on mountain drives.... great description, felt like i was there.... hugs :)

You never know what'll happen on these flights. Sometimes my ears don't pop either. Other times, whoa! Thanks, gw

I certainly know that feeling. Sometimes I need to pinch my nose and blow to relieve the pressure, if my ears don't pop. Nice one Sir. RT

Never heard that one before (pinching the nose and blowing). Maybe I'll try it next time! Thanks, RT!

This was a fantastic high flying adventure. Keep flapping. : )

I had to laugh at this. I was up North today through the higher mountains and my ears got stuck, unable to pop. But you have taken us on quite the flight with this one Gershon :)

Whoa, I hate when that happens! The pressure's nearly unbearable. How long were you stuck like that? … Hope not too long!!! :) gw
