aeroplanes

I used to believe Airplanes were things that made air plane- like took out scents, took out impurities, etc...

I was told when I younger that we were going on holiday to Ayre.
We would be going on a plane.
(I'd never been on one before)

I got really scared and confused, I thought we needed to go on a plane because it was in the "Air"
I thought the plane would go up and land on a cloud and we'd all get out. The holiday never went ahead and I believed that Aire was a place in the sky for years, and I was glad we didn't have to go in the end.

until we started to go to Spain on holiday i used to think that everyone went on holiday in a caravan like we did and that areoplanes were just too far away for me to be able to see this long line of caravans flying behind them with special wings attached.

My family has always travelled a lot, and airplane trips were fairly common but still a big deal. I'm not sure why, but I decided that airplane tickets were just about the most expensive things you could buy, costing several thousand dollars. It never occurred to me to wonder why, if they cost so much, we took so many plane flights.

I thoght "Aero"smith/"Aero"pastel made "Aero" planes
I started believing this at the age of 10

i used to think that airplanes are able to break through the atmosphere and enter outer space, but one i learned more about the atmosphere, airplanes, and space ships, i finally learned of two words- "vacuum" and "airlock". i was pretty stupid.

I used to believe that they had to shrink people to get them into airplanes that were so tiny in the sky.

When i read the word 'Aeroplanes', i was confused. I thought they were spelled, 'Airplanes', not aeroplanes.

My belief was that aeroplanes are some kind of 'special' airplanes.

eveery once in a while on a plane, i could swich seats with my sister. I thought that the reason i could saftly do this was that the plane had stopped in midair and was hovoring!

Then i was told that if a plane stopped 9n midair it wold fall out of the sky

it seemed resonable!

I used to think that when you were ready to get on the plane, you would go outside and the plane would hover over the house and pick you up kinda like a taxi. The pilot would drop a big latter and you would climb on up :)

i used to believe airplanes never land and would just fly forever, i believed in this till 8-9

I used to believe AIRPLANES flew becuase hundreds of bird were inside flapping their wings, and that made it go up.

When I was five, my family was going on vacation to Florida. I thought that airplanes went over several destinations without stopping, so I was afraid to get on the plane because I thought we'd have to parachute into Orlando.

When I was 3 years old i used to think planes crashed every time someone threw up because of the extra weight.So it was summer holidays and my mum booked my family tickets to go to america.So we where in the plane enjoying the ride then my sister just happened to throw up.I stood up running up and down the plane saying. "the plane gonna cwash! the plane gonna cwash!". One of the passengers shouted "put a sock in it" so I took my shoe, stripped of my sock and put in my mouth.My mum picked me up kicking and screaming and forced me into my chair until we reached america.And guess what the plane didn't cwash

I used to see the airliners high in the sky on a clear sunny day in the summer time. They were leaving a vapor trail behind. I didn't know about vapor trails. I thought that the plane was so high that it was scratching the top of the sky and leaving white marks.

I was told by my friend that the trail behind an airplane was the extra ice that they had on the flight and they threw it out the window and it froze there. He was into science and owned a telescope, so I naturally believed him because no one else I knew owned a telescope. I figured he actually saw them throwing out the ice.

When I was young I was in an airplane I kept on pressing the recliner button and then suddenly we took off.I was very small then so I cried.For a long time after that I thought the recliner button was used for impatient passengers who wanted to take off early.
