    what you don't see is the other 3 on the flight with their instruments. Each was outfitted with a seat belt extender and a lousy voice. Why they allow them to practice on a plane is unknown to me. I think this is the foremost reason that they do not allow weapons on airplanes

    You should've screamed that he was a terrorist and carrying six wire garrottes.

    They would've zip tied and duct taped him to his seat.

    Getting ready for a flight to China.

    I travel very frequently by air. I've never come up on someone playing a musical instrument. I can assure you, however, that if I did and it was a long flight, I'd stuff that instrument where the sun doesn't shine and I guarantee that lubrication would not be involved.

    ...


    Sheet SS,

    Don't know where you're going in China, but when I used to fly around there I'd have been happy if it was just some dudes playing instruments. What really sucked was getting on a some old rattle trap flight there and people started boarding with livestock and chickens. After about two hours with no AC smelled like a barnyard mixed with hydraulic fluid and stinky chinese. Took a lot of those rides. Not good.

    Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the whole "AC is a gimmick and will never catch on" thing while I'm out there. I just did a boatload of shopping this weekend for uber-thin clothing since I have to go for two weeks and my luggage has to be carry-on. I've been warned that I'll be sweating like a pig 24/7.

    At least while I'm flying out and back, I'm going Business Class for the long flight.

    I can handle short flights... but NO in-flight "entertainment" - I'd just go apepoop.

    Perhaps he was trying to further emulate Richie Valens and die on an airplane.

    Can't wait for the extended dance version of "La Bamba."

    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Last time I saw someone playing an instrument on a flight, it was the nun from Airplane.

    79 just back from Okinawa(where there are lots of people but all are polite to each other) Had to take a Bus (Greyhound)from L.A. to Lancaster to get home.

    Guy gets on with a Big Boom Box and cranks it. Asked him very polity to turn it down. After he told me to go get ^^%$. I let him know after I was done there would be no more sound coming out of it.
