Oooh I've sat next to your brother on a flight - only he chanted the Hail Mary - out loud.. Non stop... I think he went thru about 10 mysteries of the rosary he said the hail mary so many times...
The only turbulance that still gets to me is the clear air turbulance... I was on a flight from san fran to sydney - and we hit some -- just at that moment I decided to stretch my legs and leave the upper deck of the plane.. and was heading downt he stairs... It's not something I suggest doing often....
This actually is a pretty informative website that explains a lot about turbulance... I find that a lot of fear is in the not knowing... if you know what causes it -- it's a lot less fearful
