I haven't flown as a passenger for quite a few years, used to do a lot of flying to and from duty stations when I was in the military. That was a number of years ago. Never have flown in the big 757 but was wondering if they bounce around in turbulence as much as the smaller planes did back in the 1960s. I had one heck of a rough ride somewhere over the midwest once. Had a wing seat and I thought the wing was going to flap itself right off the plane. Let me tell you, there was quite a few oohs and ahhhs from the other passengers. I think we were flying over Northern Oklahoma or Kansas, I think the pilot was trying to climb over it but can't be sure because that plane was going up, then down, and shuddering all over. I never had such a wild ride in all my flying days. Even the Stewardess was pale as a ghost after it was over, and after she calmed down enough to get up from her seat I noticed her hands were still shaking. lol .
