Hey y'all I just love reading comments on this site...I am old, salute to all the brave and talented pilots and support people in the profession. Dad would be 92 on March 6th 2019 if he was still kickin. He served in the USMC and finally got his private license after learning on a seaplane way back. He was blind in one eye but it did not stop him from flying private. He got his Cessna and kept it at Orlando Executive Airport (Herndon) but only got to fly for a few years. I miss you Dad. Happy Birthday.
There was Sigmet for Turbulence all over the West and also a Convective Sigmet for No Cal and Nevada. This guy was in the middle of both. There were some smppther rides over the Pacific but ATC wasn't allowing all the northbound flights over there.
A long time ago, after experiencing severe turbulence, the fellow to my left told me "kid, most days the drinks are stirred. Today, they'll be shaken" .
Are people ever going to learn to keep their seatbelts on?
NOPE!
Seatbelt sign was lit; FAs and woman and her baby in the loo were the poor folks that got to play vomit comet.
