aeroplanes

I used to believe that airplanes would land in your yard and pick you up.

when i was little andi was going to go on my first plane ride my father pointed to a plane in the air and said 'thats what we're going on!' i didnt quite understand perspective, or that planes landed so i said 'but how will we all fit its so small? and how do we get up to it its so high up?' God what an idiot i was!

I used to believe that when I waved at airplanes in the sky that they could see me and would "wave" back by flashing their lights. As we know, there are lights flashing on planes often but when I was little I thought that the lights meant not only that they could see me but that they were waving at me as well. I didn't even realize that the lights were flashing before I even waved! Silly me!

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

When I was little, I used to believe that airplanes took off like rockets.

When I was 4 my father used to be a gunner on the large B-52 airplanes. Living on base near the flight strip was loud to say the least. Everytime a B-52 flew overhead, I thought it was going to dump cheese on our house. I STILL have no clue where I got such an insane idea from.

When I was 8 and about to migrate to Australia, I thought that once on the plane, i would be able to open the window and scoop some of the cloud and take it with me after I landed. Also thought the mini-cloud would be able to produce rain.

When I was a child I believed that if I was ever in a plane that was going to crash I could jump out at about five or six feet from the ground and land with only a twisted ankle. I found out later that this thought was obvously flawed but it gave me comfort when I was in planes.

I used to believe that airplane toilets would let your "excrements" fly out into the sky-and fall somewhere on the ground.

I used to think that airplanes were just angels who hadn't learned to become invisible yet.

i used to believe that the trails that planes left in the sky were 'care bear tracks'. it took a while for me to figure out it was from a plane

Emma weeble wooble

Someone told me that airplanes could crash into stars when I was younger and until this summer I believed that, and I'm 18!

When i read the word 'Aeroplanes', i was confused. I thought they were spelled, 'Airplanes', not aeroplanes.

My belief was that aeroplanes are some kind of 'special' airplanes.

Lecia

I used to believe when flying, once the airplane was above the clouds we were in heaven, and I would look out the window for angels.
