aeroplanes

Well when i was at air ports I would always wonder what the other planes did Dad was in the military and said he went one upside down planes so I asked mom if that plane over there was an upside down plane (Pointing at the other porting station) She said yes and i was freaked from that day on!

When I saw a plane flying above me I started jumping and waving with my hands crying "Take me with you". I used to believe people would see me and take me with them.

My grandpa had a plane when I was very young. I used to get so bored when we flew. Finally one day, when boredom was mounting, I asked my grandma why grandpa never stopped to let me out and play.

My heart broke when I found out that you couldn't walk on clouds.

i used to believe that airplanes had special magic,cos anytime they fly high into the sky they always get smaller.
i always thought the passengers also shrink in size with the airplane when the plane is high in the sky.

when i was about 7 we were going abroard for the first time on holliday. this of course lead to thoughts of my first flight. i was convinced that while we were flighing i could open the window and put some cloud in a jar and keep it as a reminder of my first flight.

When I was a child, i used to believe that all aeroplanes were big when they were first made and that they reduced in size the more they flew. I didn't realise that planes were made in all different sizes.

I used to think that a company had boats all over the world making waves, and airplanes making clouds

I used to believe that when you flew in an airplane, and looked down, you would see the states outlines just like on a map.

I thought the lines in the sky left behind by airplanes were "sky scrapers". Makes sense.

i used to think that aircraft carriers were a type of helicopter. when told that we were going to go on an aircraft carrier i was very dissapointed when i discovered that it was just a ship.

my mum once told me when i was about 6 or 7 yrs old, that if you were on an aeroplane an it was going to crash you had to put your slippers on and open the plane window , then hang one leg out of the window and you would get sucked out. i was terrified of flying for years after that and still think of it now when i have to go on a plane!! ( i`m 43 !!!)

When I was little, I believed that aeroplanes were sent into the air by giant slingshots.

The first time I went on an airplane, I overheard my parents saying something about being "bumped" when you flew on an airplane, and I heard them saying you got wherever you were going faster if you were bumped. That was about all I heard. I had no idea what being "bumped" meant, so naturally, I assumed that it meant you were, quite literally, bumped to your destination. I figured that you got on the plane, and the plane got on top of a big trampoline, and the plane bounced so high that when you landed, you wound up where you wanted to go. Either that, or your family got on a big trampoline (without any plane or anything to keep you safe) and bounced to your destination along a big, long trail of trampolines. I wasn't quite sure how that got you there faster, though.

I used to think that aeroplanes came to your house to pick you up.

When I was little I did not understand why people were afaid they would get hurt in a plane crash. I thought you could just jump out of the plane right before it hit the ground and walk away.

when i was little i used to think that when you were in the check in lounge waiting on the seats that you were actually on the plane!
i wandered why it never moved very fast!
