Yep, same here. I was flying back from a shoot yesterday, and the pilot kept dipping the nose throughout the flight. I don't know why he was doing it, but it was completely unpleasant. It gave that exact same feeling in the stomach as being on a roller coaster as it goes over the lip of a big drop. It was terrifying, and I can now feel the beginnings of a slight fear of flying.

Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz appears to have hidden evidence of an illness from his employer and had been excused by a doctor from work the day he crashed a passenger plane into a mountain, prosecutors said Friday.... Prosecutors didn't say what type of illness — mental or physical — Lubitz may have been suffering from. German media reported Friday that the 27-year-old had received prolonged treatment starting in 2008 for a "serious depressive episode."

Flew in a really shitty thunderstorm from Sri Lanka to Bangkok the night the Air Asia plane crashed, and every time we hit turbulence the Muslim guy next to me started praying loudly. I need to load up on valium for my next flight.
