I was 10 when going to Italy on my first flight, and nearing towards the end of the journey the plane literally dropped and shortly after we were coming in to land, well zoom forward 13 years and now going on my second flight and to the USA this time, it was a fantastic flight, but after landing I was slightly disappointed that we hadn't dropped vertically before the landing, what I hadn't realised was that on my first flight it was likely we encountered turbulence and the plane had probably fallen a few hundred feet, I honestly thought the plane dropped from the sky until it was low enough and then just glided into the airport!!! Doh!

All I had todo was step of a flight of stairs and I'd be walking in the air...— Dolly - I thought that Heaven was literally up in the sky and you could fly there in a plane— Nate
- That the white stuff coming out of aeroplanes meant that someone on the plane had just got married.Anon
- I thought the dog poo in the street was human poo dropped from aeroplanesAnon
