Ah yes turbulent air
Many years ago flying (as near to the black box as poss ) in the company Skoda we hit a bad 'air pocket' whilst flying in some really rough weather - it felt like the aircraft just fell out of the sky for a second or two (severe down gust/draught) - lots of worried pax and intakes of breath - except for Rog and myself (2 glider pilots) - we were giggling

When I was working in zimbabwe we knocked off at 1pm in the summer and I used to drive over to the GC to make use of some of that horrible bumpy weather
