aeroplanes

When I was a kid I always fell asleep b4 landing, so I thought that different states were in the clouds and thats why you had to fly in the air to get there.

I believed that airplanes went to warp speed when over clouds as the 3 times I was on an airplane it was cloudy and pink, they might be some kind of anomoly. I thought I was going to another plane of the earth, because we left our ground, over clouds, and came in at a different ground. What further reinforced this belief is that we always go on an airplane when the destination is really far away, and geologist were talking about "plates" and "fissures" and showed a map of them, I thought they pieced it together to show what it was like before they broke off.

Once, at night time, I saw the flashing lights from an aeroplane and I thought it was a UFO.

I used to believe that you could open the window while inside the airplane while it was traveling in the sky if it got too warm inside.

when i was a kid i used to believe that different states were up in the sky. to fly from new york to californa, you go really high up in the air...so california must in the sky, right? i remember looking up in the sky and saying to my mom "i don't see aunties house"

When I was young, my parents and I often slept over at my grandpa's house; just something fun to do. His house at that time was very close to an airport, and planes often flew low overhead.

Around the time of one of our first sleepovers, I had just heard the story of Moses and the plagues at Sunday school. Specifically, we had read the story where the Angel of Death passed over Egypt, and killed the firstborn in any house that did not have lamb's blood over the door.

I was lying in bed at Grandpa's house that night. It was an especially busy nght for air traffic. I was convinced that the roaring noise I was hearing (plane engines) was the Angel of Death flying over us.

No one in the house got much sleep that night, as I was awake crying in terror that the Angel of Death was going to kill me.

Well, as we see traffic lights, and street signs i thought they had some that go REALLY high for plane drivers. I thought that whenever you fly over a different country there would be a sign saying Australia, America, Portugal etc.

flying high

I used to think that when i went abroad on a flight that the destination was in the sky because i had to fly to it haha

i used to be scared of flushing the toilet in public places because i thought it would suck me up, also the same in aeroplanes

I used to believe that when you flushed on an airplane, it would land on the people below.

My friend's sister used to think the auto pilot on a plane was an inflatable man like the one in Airplane!

When I was little my Mom asked me
"How do you get on a plane?" and I simply replied "Jump up" Thats how I really thought you would get on a plane

When I was about 8 I thought I had come up with a life saving idea. I couldn't understand why when an airplane was going down the people didn't jump out the door right before it hit. I figured anyone can survive a 5 foot jump!

Not very bright

when i was growing up a freind of mine told her little brother that airplanes were made of very hard choclate and if you were hungry you could eat the seats he belived this until he was 13 when he actually got on a plane.

Ever since I was 2. I've been on a plane ride every year and moved houses every year as well. So one year we didn't do it. I though "We had bought them all"

I used to believe that when I saw the smoke trails from jets it meant that it was someone's birthday that day. I seemed possible since every time I was one it just happend to be someones birthday that I knew of. Perhaps becasue I was only paying attnetion when it was someones B-day. It never occured to me that thousands of people are born every day thus share the same B-day.

when i was little i used to think that the airplains that would fly over my house would come down and capture me(my dad told me that he saw me duck and run across the yard one day!) p.s im still scared of them, and also big hawks/birds!
