Brings back some interesting memories from many years ago when I was an USN STG3.

We were doing dipping sonar tests in questionable weather & it got worse & worse. Eventually there was so much turbulence, all of us (even the pilot) were sick - what a mess!

When we were coming in to land, between the deck pitching & rolling and the turbulence, I was convinced we were not going to make it and my division officer would be writing "the letter" to my parents.

Whenever I am apprehensive about the weather we are flying through on a commercial flight, I remember that experience and the the apprehension goes away quickly.
