Heck - try getting off an airplane with ANYBODY on board.

One of my favorite pastimes is watching the people on an airplane JUMP up and get their carry-ons as soon as the plane almost stops, only to stand packed like sardines in the aisle and wait 10 minutes to begin to move.

I just sit there and wait comfortably, getting up after most have left, and pleasantly walk to the baggage claim, where all the “jumpers-up” are waiting for the bags to start coming from the carousel. It sure is a good thing they got there before me, so they can stand there longer...

I’m past that frantic stage of airplane hopping every week or two.
Thank the Good Lord...

I think the funniest event I experienced was a trip from Mpls to Chicago with about 25 or 30 Japanese guys on the airplane. As we rolled toward the terminal, a Flying Tigers 747 freighter passed us on the opposite runway. There was an audible “oh-ahh” from the Japanese.
Sadly, Flying Tigers is gone...
