I received this email today ...

MCGCORFU has made a comment on Landing at Corfu Airport:

i can see my house just before you landed!!!!amazing!!

I then clicked on a link to MCGCORFU's Channel on Youtube and found these two amazing videos. The second video shows an Easyjet flight, taking off. I wonder if any forum members were on it?

Probably me and Jen Terry mate. Somehow we attract the angular, difficult and struggling folk. Is that why we met yous and Helen?

And every other of our (ex??) forum friends?

?

I loved that one Viv, thanks for posting it. Wouldn't it be nice to get the chance to sit up front for a takeoff and/or landing.

Just the thought of it puts me into a tizzy. I have flown in cockpit's before it was stopped for security reasons but never into Corfu, what an experiance it would be. Viv

Thanks for the video Viv. I also watched some of the other [not Corfu related] landings. Why do I do this to myself!!!!!! I hate take offs & landings anyway. Watching some of those videos could put you off flying for life

On our arrival flight on the 12th we went through some pretty bad turbulance. It was expected. Apparently we were flying in a jet-stream, but somewhere over Italy, IT beared left & we needed to go right. Well - at times I thought the plane was going to fall out of the sky, it was sooo bumpy. Gary has never known me to be so quiet - I was petrified! One advantage of the jet stream though, was that we landed an incredible 40 minutes early.
