RE: Airplane accidents
It is said an aircraft never goes old….it all depends on maintanence by the airline. And about your question, it depends more on the pilot than the a/c, they dont call the aircraft the safest mode of trasnportation for nothing. For me a 15 year old B737-200 is as good as a new B737-800. Its mainly the pilot.

RE: Your worst flight……
Heres mine,
In January….Alliance Air(subsidary IA), B737-200 from Bhopal(city in central India) to ND. took off in a thick haze and then had the worst flight i have encountered. The turbulence was extremly bad, and over that it was a 20 year old a/c so, not a good combination.
My father encountered his worst flight in 1988 while doing Del-Moscow. Il 62 took of from Delhi, hit hard turbulence, 4 ppl onboard actually fainted and the a/c made an emergence landing in Tashkent.

RE: Post a joke!
Walking up to a department store’s fabric counter, the pretty girl
said, “I would like to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk.
“That’s fine,” said the girl. “I’ll take ten yards.”
With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the
clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped
it up, then teasingly held it out.
The girl snapped up the package, pointed to
the old lady standing beside her, and smiled,
“Grandma will pay the bill.”
