Twilight Zone, great show, one of my favorite episodes was Nightmare at 20,000 feet, as it reminds me much of a flight I once had on a DC-10 from Spokane to Seattle, weather was about the same, no gremlin on the wing, but I was seated in about the
same position and watched the engine rather violently swing back and fourth, and this was right after there had been several incidences of the engines detaching themselves from the wing under similar circumstances.

@Vee McMillen I enjoy flying just not on dodgy aircraft or with dodgy pilots. (My uncle was a farmer in Iowa and owned a crop duster airplane. He had a grass airstrip on the farm. There was a tree wind break at the end and the trees would brush the underside of his plane when he took off. I was never comfortable encountering trees in flight.)

I don't experience air sickness, even in that heavy turbulence, I don't fear heights, I fear that sudden stop when you crash. I've flown the exact same route on a Boeing 747 it was a completely different experience. There is some Wing flex on the 747 but not twist like the DC-10 so the engines don't swing like that. And the noise level, on the DC-10 when it takes off, a loud roar, on the 747 a gentle hum.

I haven't had the money to fly for a long time and even then really didn't but had a cousin who had severe arthritis that would flare up and then she would be unable to drive, so on both occasions she had driven here and then I drove her and her car back and then flew back.

Yes, a very young William Shatner was in that episode. He was also in an episode of the Outer Limits called Cold Hands, Warm Heart. Always the seducer even back then.
