Reply #218: I was waiting some years back for a regional flight [View All]

[PSzymeczek]

from Phoenix to the town in SE Arizona where I live. It was August and the flight was delayed by a thunderstorm, as flights that time of year are wont to be. In order to keep her young child relatively quiet, a mother kept feeding him M&Ms. When we finally got on the puddle-jumper turbo-prop, I was seated across the aisle from said mother and child. Shortly after we took off, the puddle-jumper hit some fairly extreme turbulence. Child barfs up the M&Ms consumed at the airport. Chocolate the second time around does not smell good, especially on a small aircraft.
