Rainboe, can I come along when you are playing the Wagner? Pipe it through to the cabin full blast.
Turbulence is the only fun part on those interminable hours flying long haul these days. I remember as a boy flying on Bristol Britannias through the tropics in the east at around 20,000 feet watching the grown ups going pale and throwing up. I loved it, but I was only eleven. Being strapped in for four hours across India, no food or drink or the loo because it was too rough. And "rough" is definitely the way to describe it. As a result of these types of experiences I have always kept my belt on but I must say today flying is very rarely "rough", although I notice it was interesting across Borneo the other day according to reports of a QF flight from HK to PER.
