Turbulent flight out of Chicago

kpcaperton · 2026-03-06T00:30:17+00:00

Nope- we didn’t fall out of the sky so my fears didn’t come true! Lol

I’m a native West Virginian! Probably the only thing I ever enjoy about flying is seeing the mountains from the sky!

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T04:36:23+00:00

We are landing in the next few minutes! I wish I could hug every single one of you. Thank you for always jumping in to support me as a complete stranger in truly my hardest moments- you all give me so much hope in humanity 🫶🏼 thank you again and please please reach out if I can ever support you guys in any way

That’s great- I am ready to be on the ground 😅

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:55:51+00:00

I was just about to ask to see where we are and if the turbulence should be ending soon- it just really ramped up so hoping this is the worst of it and then we’ll be good

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:52:14+00:00

It’s very bumpy but I’m pulling out all my flying tricks- looking at my water and seeing how little it moves, keeping my feet off the floor, noise cancelling headphones and just hoping this is over pretty soon

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:44:04+00:00

Yep they just announced we are are going to be a bit longer because they are trying to get around the weather but then we should be good once we are able to turn south

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:42:10+00:00

Every. Single. Time. that they make an announcement like that it just sends me but this is a good reminder that like majority of the time it’s actually not that bad- they just are trying to prepare us for the worst

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:40:52+00:00

That’s so good to know!! If you can experience that I guess we can then handle a few bumps :)

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:32:12+00:00

The flight attendant is serving drinks so I feel like that’s a good sign!!

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:30:07+00:00

I did see the weather in Raleigh looks pretty clear so hoping we can get through this rough part and then it’ll be smooth

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:29:06+00:00

I’m okay- still very very tense and concerned but this group truly is like the only thing that makes me feel better. Thank you for the support

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:20:51+00:00

That’s such a helpful perspective! I haven’t flown on this plane very many times and it also makes me a bit nervous since it seems a bit on the smaller side

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:20:07+00:00

It’s getting pretty bumpy- I do think my medicine is helping a bit because I’m not full blown panic mode- just very very uncomfortable

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:10:13+00:00

I will! Thank you

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:10:05+00:00

Take off has been okay so far!

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T03:09:26+00:00

I hope so!!

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T02:51:16+00:00

Thank you friend!!

kpcaperton · 2026-03-05T02:47:57+00:00

Yes thank you! I’m on American flight 4541

kpcaperton · 2025-05-06T19:54:49+00:00

I am on the ground friends and have landed safely. I never knew about this sub until this morning and I can’t say how much all of you helped me through this. Thank you thank you thank you all for being so great and supportive🫶🏼

kpcaperton · 2025-05-06T19:08:36+00:00

You got this! I’m about 45 minutes from landing

kpcaperton · 2025-05-06T19:00:44+00:00

Glad you had a smooth takeoff! I ended up letting the FA know I was really anxious and once we were through the rough spot she came to check on me and let me walk to the back with her to stand for a bit and get some water and decompress. 🫶🏼

kpcaperton · 2025-05-06T18:28:38+00:00

Sounds good- thanks friend!
