would you rather be on a small 4 passenger plane or a large one?

small passenger one...i hate most people, so the ratio would be lower. plus germs. plus you probably get a better view. plus its more personal.

well there's more room on a large one so if you wanted a quicky and not shift the weight of the plane entirely during intercourse, i'd definitely go large.

Large.

Passenger planes seem more rickety.

What if you are afraid of heights and dying in a plane crash?

big plane- it is less scary... little planes bounce around alot more (especially a little 2-4 seater...) and feel alot less stable

they also make more weird noises

Agreed. My SO has never set foot on a plane and this guy offered to fly him in a little plane for his first time. I couldn't understand the logic behind it so I decided on a tww poll.

when I consider airplanes I'm primarily concerned with the number of engines on the aircraft, and the number of engines necessary to maintain level flight of that aircraft.

large planes usually come out ahead by that metric, but I wouldn't be opposed to flying on a smaller airplane assuming it had at least 2 engines

Plus big pilots have a shitton more experience.

Also, I always hear about more small plane crashes than big ones in the news, so ...

And turbulence, forget it! Any little bump will toss a small plane around.

But this guy was adamant that a small plane would be better for first time flight.

no way would I suggest a small 2 seater plane for somebody's first flight over a larger plane

I would not suggest a small plane to anyone who gets the slightest bit of motion sickness, Cessna size planes can easily go up or down 10 - 20 ft in a second in turbulence. And by turbulence, I mean calm, steady air for any commercial plane.

small

i flew my first time in a small two seater "crop duster" style plane and it was cool. i pretty much could tell my father-in-law whenever i wanted to end the flight. i actually enjoyed the entire flight and didn't want to come down. if you fly commercial, your stuck for the duration of that flight--whether you love it or hate it.

the only thing i could see possibly being better about a small plane for the first flight is that you might get a chance to take control of the stick for a bit (it feels alot different flying a plane than it does riding in one- you really don't even notice the big drops cause of turbulence when you have control of the plane)

So how would you know those things?...unless you had already learned it from others, of course.

First time on a plane? I'd ask if I got some kind of pin or certificate for my new membership in the Mile-High Club.

BUDUM-CHING!

first time = small plane. shit was tight son.

my first time in a helicopter was like with the vertical takeoff and all. badassness.

so true. when I boarded the 15 hour flight to China it made me kind of nervous, especially when we flew over the north pole and you could see the glaciers from the sky. no rescue team is going to come out that far, and even if they did (assuming you survive a crash) you'd freeze to death before they even realized the plane had crashed..

He wants to fly because we are going to travel and flying is the most convenient sometimes, he's just a bit spooked, especially when a damn news story pops up about a plane crashing.

I've been in puddle jumpers that hold maybe 16 people and THEY suck at turbulence. I did not enjoy those rides so I could not imagine a smaller plane!

This is so irrational. Is he scared to drive down I-40? That's far, far more dangerous than flying on a commercial flight....
(Everyone knows this... I just don't understand irrational phobias.)

For those of you who are saying GA aircraft you're nuts.

If you've never been on a plane before AND are nervous / scared of heights, I'd suggest a commercial aircraft.

It's definitely more comfortable in something with air conditioning and pressurization as opposed to being bounced around in a Cessna while looking straight down at the ground.
