Another one springs to mind:

A propeller job from Lugano to Geneva over the Alps - I'm trying to look cool and professional in front of a colleague whom I'm taking round various European clients).

As I'm pointing out to her how beautiful the Alps looked, the plane hits a pocket of clean air (I think, I'm not a weatherman so don't slate me on that!) and decides to drop down rather sharpish to have a closer look.

I swear the propeller looked as if it had stopped for a second or two! The pilot looked cool as a cucumber though, so we didn't panic....much! And we tried to forget the connecting Saab waiting for us to go on to Dusseldorf.
