Horizontal plane

To the Lady on the Plane To the loudmouth woman who sat on the small commuter plane from Salt Lake City, Utah to Medford, Oregon with me, I would like to thank you for being silent for the few minutes that you were staring at me while we were landing. Unfortunately, what followed the silence was disgusting. However, for most of the two hour flight you did not need to keep telling me about how afraid of planes you were. Frankly, I would have preferred you talked the entire time. On the other hand…

This summer my parents were sitting at home on a boring sunday night while I was out with my friends. My mom texted me and said I need to come home soon because we were going on a trip tomorrow and my flight leaves around one. When my mom told me we were going to Gulf Shores, Alabama I thought it was really weird and I was not excited. I was actually really upset because it was towards the end of summer and I wanted to stay here and hangout with my friends. So the next morning my Dad and…

Back then, it was the biggest dream of mine to become an international flight attendant, allowing me to explore different places around the globe. My mom was working as a flight attendant even before I was born and the very first time I flew on a plane was when I was still her womb! When my two other siblings were born, my mom would always take us with her on her flights around the West Coast. Even when we were all still messy little kids, my mom always taught us about the importance of being…

When my parents said that we would be taking a vacation to the Petrified Forest National Park, I am not going to lie, I was bummed. The only reason I went was that we were taking our dog because this was one of the most animal friendly parks. We flew out of O’Hare Airport, and landed at the Regional Airport-Inw. Then, we took a 1 hour car ride to the city of Holbrook where we stayed for the night. The next day we took a trip to the park, and we started out going around the Discovery…

was eleven my family took a trip to the Bahamas. We departed DFW airport early in the morning, before even the birds had woken from their slumber. Our plane landed briefly at a small airport in southern Florida where we swiftly exited our large vessel for the cramped, musty quarters of a seemingly ancient aircraft. My family and I sat in the plane for what felt like an eternity with nothing but miles of water as far as the eye could see. As the tiny metal bird descended from the skies a…

Growing up in Ukraine, it never crossed my mind that one day I will be living anywhere but my own country. I still remember the day my mother told me the big news of moving to united states a month before our flight. I quickly had to wrap my mind around it, and prepare myself for a completely new life that was coming my way. I had to find out all on my own how to prepare for a new country, educate myself about the culture and finally figure out the education system in united states. To start…

Joe and Jack were two childhood friends.They grew up together and everyday they did things together. Today was the day of their high school graduation and Jack said “what are you going to do now.” “i'm probably going to be going to louisiana state, what about you.” “Harvard offered me a full scholarship and i'm going there.” This was the last time Joe and Jack talked to each other for a while. Five years after that day and they found each other in a courtroom and being charged for murder. They…

Zamperini was in the army air corps, he flew in a plane named the Superman. However, this plane was destroyed by Japanese planes, leaving Louie and his crew with no plane but the Green Hornet. This plane “looked haggard, its sides splattered with something black, the paint worn off the engines. Even with an empty bomb bay and all four engines going, it was only just able to stay airborne.” (pg. 117) Even though the Green Hornet was a run-down plane, Zamperini and the other crewmen still had…

miss it, but I just want to go home. Not home with my family, but in San Diego. It's been months and I definitely think it's time to come back. When I landed in San Diego, I couldn't hold the excitement in my seat. I just wanted to get out of the plane and hop into that taxi. The airport was overcrowded with eager people just like me. Everyone had somewhere to be, I did too. That place is with Vic. I quickly signaled a taxi once I exited the airport and gave the driver my destination.…

Around 10pm I boarded the plane. When I sat down their was a man approximately between his late 20s to mid 30s. He seamed to be a nice guy. He was asking me all kinds of questions about the U.S. By the grace of God I did not take my medication that would help me sleep. After about…
