Descriptive Essay : My First Plane

When I went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee I was with my parents, grandparents, my brother, and my cousin Savannah. I got to go to all the little shops, Dig through rocks, and I remember honking through this tunnel we drove in. I guess it was tradition. I remember going to a mini amusement park where we rode go carts. I also remember going to the Titanic museum. I remember touching the ice wall and seeing all the sunken objects. I also remember seeing the grand staircase. I remember it feeling super heavy and emotional

Skipping the last week of school to fly in a plane for the first time across the ocean to another country was a thrill. Frankfurt, Germany was my first plane stop. From there I would board another plane that would take me to Budapest, Hungary, then finally to my last destination, Romania. This was the first time my siblings and I flew on an airplane and it was fascinating because every seat had a mini T.V. behind them and the food was delivered right to our seats. This was a different but exciting experience because we could watch movies whenever we wanted, we got to order whatever food we desired, we didn’t have to sit next to our parents, and sitting next to old people came with a major perk. My siblings and I always got seats next to

Have you ever been on a vacation? Although I have not been on an enormous amount of vacations, but I have been on a few. Of the four to five vacations I have been on, the most favorable trip I have ever been on was when I was seven years old and my family went to Colorado. There, we explored the nearby towns, went dirt-biking, went on a train, and had some mishaps. We also stopped at some amazing places on the way there, including a huge museum in Kansas City.

A rough takeoff with crosswinds blowing us side to side and lightening bolts striking down right next to us. Turbulence that would throw you out of your seat if your seat belt was not fastened. This was my first non accompanied flight after my mom started working for PSA. Day trips like this have influenced my development greatly, the day trips to Myrtle Beach or Jacksonville for a round of golf. Or the weekend vacation to New Orleans and Destin, and Daytona Beach are all stories within themselves that sparked influential events that have all affected my development.

When we first landed in New Jersey, we had to wait because we had to wait for the other people going to Latvia to arrive in Jersey so that way we all were on the same plane. When everyone showed up, the girls seemed to bunch together and the guys seemed to bunch together. And myself, I was sitting all alone, thinking that I had made the biggest mistake going because I didn’t think that I would get along with anyone. “I wondered how Rebecca and I would get along.”(Gutradt 9). No one would talk to me and I wanted to talk to them but I felt alone and uncomfortable, even though I had my cousin and grandparents, my cousin found people to talk to, so I was alone even more. When we got on the plane, I got to sit next to my cousin which was awesome because I didn’t want to be next to someone who I didn’t know and didn’t talk to at the airport, the plane ride was about Twenty-two hours, which let me say was so exhausting. Being on the plane for that long is fun, but it gets very boring after a while because you’re not doing anything but sitting there and looking out of the window or listening to music, which if you don’t have enough, you will run out and listen to the same things over and over

When I was about 10 years old my family and I took a vacation to Florida to see my great aunt Linda. It was a 14 hour drive down to Florida which is a long time in the car. We were going down there for a week. For the first two days we went to Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I was very excited to see my great aunt because I have never met her before. I knew that I was going to have fun on this trip.

On July 28, 1914 the beginning of a catastrophe has appeared in the world causing fear amongst many individuals. With the world going into complete shutdown lasting a total of four extensive years where numerous innovations were needed to progress in overcoming the opposition. Planes were developed recently and has made a huge contribution to the first world war by being used as a reconnaissance, transportation and air support as a weapon. With the integration of planes WWI has become a different type of battleground with planes involved since there has never been such a war of this caliber with any type of air unit to this extent. Previous usage was only hot air balloons or zeppelins that were very easy targets and could get annihilated in quick succession. The comparison from

I remember having to to wake up at 4:00 am to make it to the airport on time, which my nine year old self was convinced that waking up so early was going to ruin the entire trip. I remember being horrified to find out that it would take multiple flights to even get there instead of just one (Wichita to Atlanta, GA and then Atlanta to one of the main islands). On the first flight I spent most of the time looking out of the window just watching the Earth pass beneath us or looking at the giant spires and anvils of storms passed beside or under us. On the second flight I got separated from the rest of my family because our seats were a few rows apart, but my seat was next to a nice woman who I remember playing matching games with go fish cards for the

Before I turned 4, my family and I moved to Vietnam.My dad’s job required him to travel a lot and occasionally, my brother and I got to come along. We went to Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, and more. The experiences were enlightening and I saw a lot of interesting places and things from different cultures.

Every summer when my brother and I were younger we would take a family vacation to see our extended family in California. The trip would always start off with an early morning flight; my brother would always get stuck by oversized people who should have to buy two seats just for themselves. I would always get the seat next to the grandmother that kept my mind away from the thoughts of crashing with friendly conversations.

I dreamed of this parent-free Parisian jaunt from the second I signed up to study French in the seventh grade. It seemed like some far-off fantasy until we hit turbulence three hours into the flight, and I suddenly felt completely and utterly overwhelmed. Before this trip, the furthest from home I had ever been was a family vacation to the Caribbean and even that was a bit of a culture shock. How

When I was 1 ½ I went to disney for the first time! When I went to Disney the smell of the food filled the air, people were screaming, and my palms were sweating as I was waiting to get on the ride.

When I was seven years old I went on my very first holiday abroad, to

On February 7, 2006, UPS flight number 1307, a regular night-time package flight from Atlanta to Philadelphia, had been a normal flight but, just after receiving clearance to land on runway 27R, the flight crewmembers reported that they had a smoke warning light come on. Smoke was coming out of the aircraft as it landed. The flight crewmembers evacuated the airplane after it landed. The flight crewmembers had minor injuries, and most of the cargo and the airplane were destroyed by the fire after landing. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of this accident was an in-flight cargo fire that initiated from an unknown source, which was most likely located within the cargo area. (flight safety, 2006)

Here I have a paper airplane (probably poorly made, because I don’t know how to make them). “You can learn all about the physics of flight, know which airlines have the safest record, pick the best craft to fly in, reserve your flight, drive to the airport, go to the gate, double check the cockpit crew’s credentials. But it does no good unless you get on the plane. Knowledge alone won’t get you anywhere. You have to act on what you know. You have to climb aboard the airplane, trusting it’ll take you where you want to go.” Similarly, it’s not enough to know all about Christianity. You can study until you’re the expert, go to church, even get involved in ministry, and not have a relationship with Christ. You finally have to take a step of faith and ‘get on board’ by receiving the forgiveness He purchased on the cross and entrusting your life and future to Him.”
