Plane

my family and I had the privilege to take a trip to my mother’s hometown in Guanica, Puerto Rico; with much excitement, I ran into the plane as if someone was chasing me.

At the time, I was only five years old, I was always filled with questions as to how it felt, but that summer I…

The plane was supposed to leave at 8PM but right around 7:30 the loud airport speakers announced, “The flight to Phoenix, Arizona has been delayed two hours.” Now the flight won’t take off until 10 PM and we were going to miss our connecting flight. My grandma went to the gate agent with about two other groups…

the plane. The plane was an Airbus A320-200NEO a very modern and secure aircraft with silent engines and a capacity of 124 passangers.

The Adventures to Florida It was a hot summer morning, my mom was at work, while my dad was at the house purchasing plane tickets. I had no idea that we would be going to Florida this summer. As much as I wanted to be excited I wasn’t. It was a tough decision I had to make with myself because if I wanted to be on the volleyball team I had to stay and commit to volleyball camp. The only thing that really upset me was that our trip to Florida was on the same day as volleyball camp. Having to…

for all of my life. Brian’s life used to be the same until after the plane crash. I am able to be around people in the classes that I take. I am taught by a teacher every day, and I am given homework. I have teachers that I am able to lean on and get advice from. Brian does not have the same luxuries that I do when it comes to a decent…

Many have already seen the footage on various social media outlets, and one could ask, how could a man be violently dragged off a plane against his own will? Recently, to summarize, a passenger, named Dr. David Dao, was taken off a United Airlines plane to accommodate for an overbooking error. In the process, he was violently removed by security guards. The whole idea of it is simply sickening, and fortunately sparked enormous outrage by the public to the company. However, after everything, you…

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.
