My most entertaining was a departure. Johannesburg, late afternoon in mid-summer (for those that don't know, that means thunder storms) the a/c was a BAe J41, a 19 seat twin turbo-prop = Teeny, Tiny Plane ...
We held off the (non) active for ten minutes whilst the rain shower passed and the wind changed ends, looking out at the serious Highveld thunderstorm that was then due east of JNB and the flight was going to Phalaborwa which is due east of JNB - Natch!
As we turned on to the reopened runway, the Cpt warned that it would be 'bumpy' for the first 15 minutes whilst we went around the storm. You don't say? It was more than 'sporty'. But one pax was still taken by surprise and screamed quite a lot as we bounced but if the Cpt had said how bad it was really going to be - she would have wanted to get off!
The conditions were then smooth and a clear run to destination and a baby's bottom landing.
