Puddle jumper - 16 seats exactly like sitting in a go-cart, propeller plane in Arkansas.
They opened the curtain as we begin our desent. We started aiming at the end of the runway. The ground is getting closer, and closer, the runway getting bigger and bigger, and we are STILL aiming at the same spot which eventually filled the entire view.
I was convinced we were going to become a pile of crumpled metal at the end of the air strip when finally and literally WAS at the last moment we leveled off (and of course landed.)
As in Sharleens "little station wagon" to Negril, bumps in flight were a lot more violent but I wasn't worried (too much) because the planes were designed to take the stress. Right?
