Pilots Explain Some Things (25 pics)

As efforts to reduce exposure to peanuts has gone up, so to has the incidences of peanut allergies (and their severity)...

10 - simply not true. Sitting on the wing is like sitting over the wheels of a car - it's the BUMPIEST part. Smoothest ride is in front.
14 - nonsense. I have approx 100k air miles, and by FAR it's more likely that the plane is too warm (except about 3-4 am on overnights, then it does get chill)
22 - stupid. The greatest danger on a plane is in/around an airport. Going 500 mph in the air, you're not likely to hit anything. Rolling around the airport - even only at 10mph - there are bumps (some nasty), carts, cars, trucks, other planes, confused ATC giving us the wrong direction, heck even some pilots roll one wheel off the taxiway when turning. Far safer to be buckled during ground operations than in the air....which is why they are.

styopa, Spot on for #22. :04: I don't get why someone would find that difficult to understand

YEa I would have to agree that the best ride is up front. :08:

Leave me in the tail section and let the dudes up front take the impact.

...cool!!! :04: :12: :04:
