Me, too. Airlines hate drunk passengers, but I can't find a doctor who 
is willing to prescribe me thorazine to get on a plane! The reason I 
dont like flying is I (well, now living in DC is part of it) went to 
school and studied turbojets. Ever wonder what happens when the turbine 
blades from a 727 go through the fuselage?

I've seen footage of it.
