i have a friend who, until a few minutes ago, believed you couldn't use computers on airplanes because having them above a certain elevation would cause them to go haywire and intercept phone calls...i told him he was right, and if he ever sees anyone on a plane using a computer, to call a stewart/ess and have them throw it out a window.

Everytime my friend saw a plane in the sky, my friend had to duck for cover just in case a poo fell out from a plane

Since I never saw wheels under an airplane when it was flying, I thought that when the plane took off, the wheels fell off too. I always wondered how the plane landed with no wheels.

N.B.

I used to reckon that, because I always went on holiday by plane, all the places I went on holiday were actually floating around in the sky.

When i was small boy i think that there will be a conductor in the aeroplane,like in a bus.

When I was 5 and went on a plane for the first time, I kept looking for the Care Bears in the clouds. I was very dissappointed I didn't see them.

Before WWll, when there was growing air activity, I would watch the aircraft fly over and I believed that the sound of the engine was caused by the tail of the aircraft being dragged along the sky

I used to believe that the "shark mouth" nose art painted on military planes was to scare enemy pilots away.

I believed as a small child travelling on a plane that if you stood too close to the pan as the toilet flushed you would be sucked in and fall out of the hole for waste under the plane.

I thought that when you used the toilet on an aeroplane the waste came straight out of a special exit underneath and fell to the ground or into the ocean. I worried about it landing on someone.

I thought that when you were on an aeroplane and the airhostess brought out your meal that the plane had stopped moving and didn't start again until everyone had finished. Weird kid I was.

When I was told that my parents would be returning from an overseas trip with delivery to the door. I thought that meant that the airplane would be landing on the street in front of our house to let them out in front of our house.

on a clear day with a brilliant blue sky i asked my dad once why there was a scratch in the sky...i thought maybe god scratched the sky. he thought that was really sweet but explained to me that it was the contrail from an airplane. i must have been about 4 or 5.
sometimes i like to pretend that god scratched the sky.

Just before my friend's first journey on a plane, her brother told her that if she did a poo in the toilets, then the poo will go out of the plane and land on earth. He said to her that a few people got injured due to flying poo. She still believes in this even though she is 22!

When I was a kid I used to think that if you jumped up in a plane that the plane would carry on flying where as you would move backwards

I really thought that when an aeroplane took off it landed on the clouds. Why? Because thats where other countries were, of course.
