Have you ever been in turbulence which made you afraid?
Not really afraid but I almost, for want of a better phrase, sh*t my pants once.

Completely out of the blue on a really smooth day over Spain. Severe CAT gave us about 50 degrees of bank one way and then the other and a loss of about 400 feet in the space of about 5 seconds...it certainly concentrated the mind briefly!

But of course you have to sound really cool on the radio and the PA
