Default airplane horror stories.. beat this

Just for fun ... beat this horror story !!!

I was flying out of Phx. AZ on a biz trip in about 114 degree heat and on a WEED WHACKER to top it off (a charter turbo prop - 9 passenger) Myself and 8 Marines just ending their last days in life as private citizens before reporting for duty/training were the passengers. We were headed for Fort Hachuca or a tiny gunnery range in the middle of the desert. My fellow passengers were together for 3 days of party and drinking contests on their last free time and did it up VERY well. Some had already reached terminal hangovers a few were just slipping into convulsions at time of boarding.
The temp of 114 plus is important here because it makes for a very very bumpy ride do to thermals and winds. Once up in the air we were gaining then losing 1500 feet per min in these thermals during flight. The plane was small enough with all seats installed the walls curved in toward your head for only a couple of inches clearance. So this roller coaster ride was beating me against the walls like a pinball. It was also over a 100* degrees inside the plane and we had an hour flight in front of us.
Within 5 min of take off the roller coaster began and 5 more min. started the puking by 2 of my fellow passengers. Now it is 100+ degrees inside this tin can and we were shoulder to shoulder with even less room from the plane walls. The puking had now started by more than 1/2 the group. Some were in the dry heaves and beginning to die. Those little puke bags were sliding up and down the aisles and then going air born as the plane would fall from below us. As the air born puke bags landed they would squirt juice from the corners of the rolled up twisty things on the end. The smell was just un-friggin describable and I had squirt juice all down 1 pant leg. We were only 1/2 way through the flight!!!!!!
I worked in a trauma room at a major hosp. for 9 years so had seen and smelled about anything you can think of but it was starting to get to me. Then I got puked on across the aisle but projection puking and it was on target. Can ya beat this true story of my most enjoyable flight ????
