Turbulence 2: Fear of Flying

With service to 26 countries on 4 continents,

we put the world within your reach.

Fly Trans-Con Air.

Relax, sit back, enjoy.

30% of American adults are afraid to fly.

The National Institute of Mental Health

places it only second to the fear of public speaking,

so what you're dealing with here

is very common.

More importantly, it can be overcome.

Remember, just relax,

sit back, and enjoy.

Uhh! Aah!

Oh, my.

Ohh!

What was that?

It's all right.

It's just a little turbulence.

You'll be fine, Elliot.

Just take deep breaths.

Well, I suppose it could be worse.

I could be like... Like Poindexter over there.

View options.

Select wire frame.

Rotate wire frame to delta 2 and enhance.

If he analyzes any more charts and graphs,

the airline's going to have to give him

a Masters in Aeronautics.

Well, actually, he's already got one.

Open specifications.

You're joking.

What, so, he can build them, but he can't fly them?

Oh. That's a stitch.

Oh, god.

The fact is, an airplane

is one of the safest places you can be

on the face of the planet.

Uhh.

Ohh.

Sir! Please, sit down!

I can't take it! I can't take it!

I got to get out of here.

I c... I can't take it anymore!

Where are you going?

You're freaking me out, man!

Leave me alone!

Don't do it! Stop!

Come back here!

Don't do it!

Harold!

Mmm.

Don't worry. I'm ok now.

I... I just needed some fresh air.

Oh, man.

I thought you IRS guys were invincible.

You shattered the illusion again, dude.

That poor guy.

Can't do the machine without the nicotine.

Well, at least you didn't vomit this time.

Now, I know each of you have demons to conquer...

Claustrophobia, fear of technology,

bad airline food.

But for those of you suffering from a fear of heights,

this next exercise may be a bit tricky,

but it's often very effective.

So let's see if you can do this.

Now, if you're having trouble

getting next to the windows,

try closing your eyes first

and then opening them once you get next to the glass.

Come on, you guys.

It's not so tough.

Maybe not for her,

but I'm a freak about heights.

Yeah, me, too.

But...

Whatever doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

Wouldn't you say?

Yeah, I suppose so,

except in the case of goiter

and irritable bowel syndrome.

I don't think either of those makes you stronger.

Yes. That's good.

Right. Come on.

We'll open our eyes on 3.

On 34 right.

Pan Pacific 400, contact ground control.

Ready?

1, 2, 3.

Somebody get him some water.

You all right, buddy?

Martin, Martin, can you hear me?

I want to commend all of you for pushing yourselves

these last 3 weeks.

Now it's time for your diplomas.

Let's give yourselves a round of applause.

Your trip from Seattle to LA

will be in a 747 identical to our Boeing simulator.

The flight has only a small number of passengers,

so the attendants can give you their full attention.

Oh, and don't forget to arrive early

for our walk-through.

So I've, um...

Heard about this quaint little resort

on the island of Lanai,

where you sleep in thatched bungalows

along the beach.

Perhaps I could rustle us up a pair of tickets

and some grass hula skirts.

You really sure you want to go to the islands now?

I mean, it seems like

you already have that Hawaiian disease.

What disease?

Lack-of-nooky.

Oh, dear god.

I'm sorry, but don't you think

we should go on another date before, you know...

And I think I should finish my training,

get a few successful flights under my belt.

Jessica, trust me.

You'll make a splendid flight attendant.

Aw.

Sorry, I'm kind of, uh, fumble-fingered.

Oh, that's, uh, that's not mine.

That's, uh, Raptor the Death-Knight.

Arrgh!

I hope it's not a bad omen.

Actually...

We're in luck, statistically speaking.

There have never been two 747 crashes

within 3 months of each other.

And since that Air Morocco jet went down

killing those 213 passengers,

I'd have to say the law of averages is on our side.

Thanks again.

Well, he's just a real winner, isn't he?

Dear god.

I can't wait to meet the wife and kids

on flight day.

Martin's a little neurotic, but I think he's nice.

And actually, I don't think he is married.

Ah, well, perhaps I should be jealous.

Well, here's to, uh...

Here's to winning your love on Trans-Con 110.

Attention all passengers,

flight 118 to LaGuardia Airport is now...

Mmm. Mmm.

Oh, god,

I can't believe we're actually doing this.

Doing what?

Hey, Ralph.

Funny. Today's the day.

How are you guys feeling?

Hi, Lenny.

Hey.

Has everyone got their carry on bags?

If you want to head down the jet way,

I'll be right with you. Ok?

All right.

Any time you need to get a hold of me,

you know the number. All right?

Ok.

Mmm!

Oh, just a hint, dad.

You know whenever I get scared,

you tell me to think about Disneyland?

That's what you should do.

That's a good idea.

Don't think about crashing and burning to death

in a million tiny pieces.

Thanks a lot, pal.

Mmm.

Ooh. I'm gonna miss you so much.

Me, too.

Don't you give Elena any problems now, ok?

All right. Bye-bye.

Good luck.

Bye. Call me as soon as you get there.

Good-bye, Mr. Messerman.

Bye, dad.

Love you.

Ok, everybody, let's keep together.

Watch your step.

This is huge.

Looks like you're swimming with the whales.

Look at this.

Come on.

Right over here.

To save transfer time,

the luggage is stored and moved in metal bins.

The de-icing fluid is a mixture

of 50% glycol and 50% water.

Great.

This way. We'll take a look at the landing gear now.

This is the engine.

Makes the plane fly like a birdy.

Yeah, it looks like a, uh...

Rolls-Royce RB11-524 with a Trent 700 core.

This baby has one advanced fuel flow system.

Makes the engine run cooler.
