I picked the wrong option. :blush: Though within the last month. :)
Summer, '11. Training in Ft. Lauderdale. Nastiest thunderstorm I've ever landed in. I went from white knuckles, skipping over catatonic, straight to giggling like a goof.

It takes quite a few craft to haul aloft your Meskimo ass.
I picked this month even though it was 5-6 weeks ago. I went back to St Louis to see family.

You can change your vote. :)
I flew within the last year.
Hmm, would have had to been around Christmas time in 2010. The last couple years, most of my getting around has been a lot of driving.
To quote myself from the OT thread: According to my frequent flyer statistics I spent more than 7 days net on planes this year, probably another 2 at the airport waiting...
Last flight was this Thursday to Friday from Johannesburg to Frankfurt.
28 flights this year, 12 different airports in 8 countries
Last November I went to Istanbul, and I could swear that since then I've flown at least once to Madrid. Next week I fly to Vienna.

I don't know what the Colombian is paying you to kill me, but I can triple it!

Sure but then if I do that, it kind of obscures things too, as I've flown many times this year.
Would have been March or April 2004. C-130, Ramp Exit, 1250 AGL.
Last Monday, returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy City to watch the annual roasting of the Falcons.
I was on a plane over the September long weekend. I will be on a plane at the end of the month and in November.
I used to fly a lot. Started to hate it a lot too. Now try to limit it to my annual Cuba vacation in winter.
December 2012, to Paris and back.
L.
There were snakes, I didn't get on.

There were snakes and you didn't get it on? :wacko:
About two weeks ago. Next plane trip is in about 3 weeks, unless I get summoned to Chicago sooner which is entirely possible (usually I get like a day or two notice beforehand).
Plane - in the spring to go to Brazil.
But I was on a helicopter two weeks ago.

Wow.
Thursday. Vancouver return to Calgary with a 14 month old who would not sit still and wanted to make sure everyone on the plane knew he was there.
Flew to Saskatoon of all places earlier this year. I'll usually end up flying a few times every year.

Wow.
You're telling me. It sucks being one of the poors. -_-
Twice this year, one in May and one in July.
Not flying as much as I used to, and quite happy with that.
November of last year Toulouse-Frankfurt after paying my respects to Simon de Montfort at Muret.

To and from Italy back in May, then went to Vegas for several days with a couple of friends in August. Not expecting anymore flights until next year, I think.
Better question: Ae you a member of the Mile high club?

I am not.
And the strange part of it is, I once flew down to the US Virgin Islands, on an essentially deserted flight, with a flight attendant girlfriend who was a total sex addict, and me being the kind of guy who's totally into superficial, shallow stuff like scoring the Mile High Club point, and the thought never even crossed my mind.

You are forgiven my son. :pope:
June. Holiday in Croatia and Bosnia.
I don't remember. :hmm: Might be.....damn it could be when I was flying back from Guam when I was leaving the boat. That was like 8 years ago.
I've just been driving everywhere instead of flying.
This May, Boston to (Seattle to) Spokane. I went 2006-2008 with no flights. I had developed a serious fear of flying a little before then.
Flying Burlington, VT to Philadelphia next month for a wedding in South Jersey. Real South Jersey, that is, (not Princeton), around Pennsville. Then flying Burlington to (Chicago to) Little Rock, AR for another wedding two weeks later. Speaking of which, I need to buy the damn tickets.
My grandad lives right near JFK, so I'm doing a couple surgical strike from Burlington to JFK on Thanksgiving and Christmas. In and out within 30 hours.
Came back to Japan at the end of last month
This year, I went to Virginia some months ago. 1 to 3 times a year on orders, add to that sometimes we fly on vacation.
