re: Most Turbulent Flight You've Experienced?

United single prop plane from Aspen to Denver through a thunderstorm. Pilot tried to go around it but the storm was too widespread and he was afraid we didn't have enough fuel to go too far out of our way. The plane would climb and then drop over and over and the engine was whining like a hurt dog. There were 20 or so people on the flight and over half of them were crying....women mostly....and several got sick. The normally 45 minute flight took 2 hours because we went so far north to try to avoid the storm.

Weird thing is I never cried. I couldn't. I do recall the-absolute-worst feeling of out of your control. I prayed. I seriously said more Hail Mary's than a nun could.
