The Sunday Five: Da Plane - Da Plane!


 You all know I like planes and flying, so here are few questions about planes and flying. 

1: Describe the smallest plane you have ever flown in?

2: That is the largest plane you have ever flown in? 

3: What is the longest flight you have ever been on? 

4: Have you ever flown in a helicopter?

5: What is the shortest airline flight you have ever taken? 

My answers: 

1: Describe the smallest plane you have ever flown in? A Piper J-3 Cub, the tiny taildragger, it was even painted Piper yellow, someone crashed it shortly after that ride, so only once.  

2: That is the largest plane you have ever flown in? 747s 

3: What is the longest flight you have ever been on? Athens to New York, about 11 hours one way. 

4: Have you ever flown in a helicopter? Twice, and I would again in a heartbeat. 

5: What is the shortest airline flight you have ever taken?  Lexington Kentucky, to Cinninciati International, it is about 80 miles, under 20 minutes if traffic allows.  

Please share your answers in the comments.

  1. 1. I don't know the make of model but it had seating for four passengers and we landed on a New Zealand glacier.

    2. Same 747. I don't think a 787 is larger.

    3. Melbourne to London I guess, unless Newark to Melbourne is longer. Whatever, both horribly long.

    4. Once, over Niagara Falls.

    5. Melbourne to Launceston, about an hour.

  5. 1: Describe the smallest plane you have ever flown in? I've never been in anything smaller than a commercial airliner ... but the ones with the low ceilings that seat just three across the whole plane are so claustrophobic for me.
