Title: The sick bag letters on school flights
Post by: SandyB on November 02, 2007, 11:57:56 AM
heaven help  you  if  you  felt the  need  to  barf   on  one  of  the  school charter  flights ! and that  happened to  quite  a  few  when  flying  in  Dakotas  as  they  really  flew  in the turbulent  zone  .. the  equivalent  of    an  aerial  steinkopf  road before  it  got  tarred .  Why ?? ..  most of the  bags were  used  to  write letters  on for  your  pals, lovers  , paramours  on  the  following   flights  ..

I uncovered  quite a  few in  my  memory  box ..   here  is  one   ...

I remember always leaving a message for the guys that went to Port Rex, us girls from Good Hope Seminary would always be on the flight that was either before or after the guys flight.  Would always leave a message for Gavin and Clint.

What I remember well on the flights between Windhoek and Om was, the pilot crewn walking the ile, going for a p***. Problem was, they seemed to be quite pi****. What a shame flighing kids in a condition like this.
Funny enough, this only happened on the charted flights.

Yis like, the barf bags, I've still got some off the letters Noel wrote on the bags from when we were at school, jeepers how time flys, been married 22 years and been with Noel for about 32 years in total, makes me about 12 when we started going out.
The kids just asked me last week what the notes were in the photo albums.
