Pace on Earth

Freak Turbulence

I travelled to Newfoundland on the weekend for a rugby game (another loss to the Rock) and on both the there and back legs of the trip was subject to some of the worst turbulence I can recall. On the way there the worst turbulence of the flight was actually after we got over Newfoundland as we were about to land. It made for a very harrowing landing.

I think of myself a pretty happy flier, in that I actually enjoy it for the most part - (I won't say I'm a good flier because I have a historical tendency to miss planes) - but this was probably the first time I can remember being white knuckled on the landing and was actually relieved when the brakes did their work and we slowed to taxi in the terminal.


To counter the concern of the passengers the flight attendant got on the mic and announced the pilot as Mike Hunt. I swear that actually happened. Gotta love Westjet; she's an owner!

Pace out.
