aeroplanes

I used to think that the sound made from airplanes flying over me was the antenna scrapping across the sky.

i believed like when i was 3 yrs. old i thought that air planes would come to your house to pick you up!

My cousin told me when I was a kid that that white smoke pattern in the sky that is left by certain planes was really Superman farting in the sky. I believed her.

When i was young i used to think that when aeroplanes left a trail of smoke in the air, it was actually their tail fins scratching the top of the sky

I used to think that everytime i flew on a plane i would see God's head poking out of the clouds. I was disappointed when there was no sight of him!

When I was little I used to believe that when u went on an airplane you could choose oyour own seatso evrytime my family traveled i got really mad cause we would never seat in the big seats up front.

4 years ago I traveled by plane with two of my sons alone, the kids were pretty worked up and to ensure that they will be calm during take off I planted a seed in their head. I said that to make the plane take off they have to push the button you can adjust your seat with as hard as they could until the plane is airborne. The oldest one is now more than 7 years old, but he is still pushing the botton believing that he makes the plane take off :o)

When I was young, my parents and I often slept over at my grandpa's house; just something fun to do. His house at that time was very close to an airport, and planes often flew low overhead.

Around the time of one of our first sleepovers, I had just heard the story of Moses and the plagues at Sunday school. Specifically, we had read the story where the Angel of Death passed over Egypt, and killed the firstborn in any house that did not have lamb's blood over the door.

I was lying in bed at Grandpa's house that night. It was an especially busy nght for air traffic. I was convinced that the roaring noise I was hearing (plane engines) was the Angel of Death flying over us.

No one in the house got much sleep that night, as I was awake crying in terror that the Angel of Death was going to kill me.

For my 5th birthday, we flew to California to visit relatives and, of course, go to Disneyland. I asked my mother how the pilot would know where Aunt Parker lived. I thought he was going to make a stop for each passenger like a taxi driver.

My mother told me when we passed by an older airport near our town that "the airplane people put blue lights where the planes land." Well, that airport closed and I had always figured that they ran out of space for new blue lights because too many planes had landed there.

My dad told me that people riding in airplanes could see me on the ground if I was outside, so I always had to wave everytime one flew over.

I thought that when you were on an aeroplane and the airhostess brought out your meal that the plane had stopped moving and didn't start again until everyone had finished. Weird kid I was.

Katie

I used to believe that the vapor trails behind jets in the sky where caused by men pouring buckets full of clouds out of the back of the plane.

My brother told me that gremlins were always on planes and that could come and get you. He said they lived in the plane's toilet, so I would stay around my mom.

My niece used to believe that I lived in the sky because she always saw me leave for school on an airplane.

My mom gave me this book on Guardian Angels when I was young, and it mentioned how all the angels lived up in Heaven with God, on clouds. So on my first plane ride, I was six, I begged for the window seat. I was sitting next to my Mom when we were in the air and I looked out the window and only saw clouds. I asked my Mom, "Where are the angels?" She said, "They're invisible." A very new concept to me, I figured that pilots and passengers saw them all the time while flying.

When I was little I did not understand why people were afaid they would get hurt in a plane crash. I thought you could just jump out of the plane right before it hit the ground and walk away.

Amy

I thought the lines in the sky left behind by airplanes were "sky scrapers". Makes sense.

Anon

When I was a child, i used to believe that all aeroplanes were big when they were first made and that they reduced in size the more they flew. I didn't realise that planes were made in all different sizes.

Rebekah

i used to think that airplanes dropped every passenger off at his/her own house.. i was always excited to have everyone on board see my house.
