transport: aeroplanes

When I was little, I use to think that the airliners really high in the sky were spaceships. I always wondered why the spaceships left trails of smoke behind them, especially because I was told smoke couldn't exist in space. Then one day my dad let me use his binoculars. I wanted to see what these spaceships looked like, but when I focused in on one, I was shocked to see that it was a regular old plane.

I used to believe that helicopters were the fastest type of transportation, simply because they crossed the sky the fastest.

When i was a kid, my family flew to florida from virginia every summer. When we got above the clouds, I would always look out the window. I thought the clouds were snow, and wondered why we always flew over antarctica to get to florida.

(when i was liitle) whenever i heard a plane passing by i thought it was a dinosaur coming our way, so i ran to the house & hid in the closet.

until i was 10 i thought clouds came from the back of those commercial airplanes

I used to think that checked luggage was put on flying metal disks which would fly along behind the plane...And of course, this was why so much luggage got lost, because it would fall right off. I figured there must be some sort of system to get people's luggage back to them if it landed in your backyard.

I used to believe the tails of Airplanes cut open the clouds and made it rain. One would always fly over just as it started to rain...later I found out we were on a landing flight path, and they always flew over...

I used to believe clouds were made out of cotton candy and even going through them in a plane now I think the wings are tearing apart the cotton candy.

When i was a kid (about 5 years of age) i thought that the white lines that came from the back of the aeroplanes was the passengers spitting from the windows.

I still have no clue about why i though like that.

A cousin of mine used to believe that Guatemala was on a cloud. Every time we'd drop off grandma at the airport, the plane would go up to the clouds to guatemala. My cousin is dumb. lol

When i was younger proabaly 4 to 9 I belived that Arkansas and other places outside of California were in the sky because my mom had family in Arkansas and use to have to take a plane there.

I figured that any place that needed you to travel to in a plane meant it was in the sky somewhere floating on clouds or some levitating piece of land.

When I was little, I believed that airplanes that had a trail of clouds behind them were actually space ships on their way up into space.

When I was 5-6 years old, I used to think that airplanes were some kind of ''big shiny bird'' that flew way up higher than any other little bird that I saw and when I was told that people flew in them...I tried to picture people inside these things..thinking that okay?.. how'd they get in there? Did the plane eat them? I watched the plane until it flew out of my sight and ''secretly'' wished that the people could somehow escape and be able to go be with their families.Or else I'd have to tell my mommy and that airplane would get told to go to it's room!!! (LOL)

I thought that the white vapour trail that planes leave behind them was actually from special 'weather planes' sent up to make the smoky trail so that weather forecasters could observe the trail and forecast the weather for tomorrow. (My husband only recently cleared this up for me!)

When I was about seven I believed that airplanes dropped passengers off on the roof of their individual destinations. My mom talked for months about taking a plane to visit my grandpa, and I thought that the plane would just land on top of his house and let us off there. I was totally confused when we arrived at the airport in Buffalo!

Me and my sister used to think that Disneyland was in the clouds because we had to take a plane to get there...
