The Jet literally dove 12,000 feet,at one point we were out of control flying upside down. Years ago I was flying into PDX while the east wind was howling down the Columbia Gorge. The plane was bouncing up and down and rolling side to side. I remember hoping it would be relatively straight when we hit the runway.. A buddy of mine, who was a private pilot, once told me of a commercial jet (think it was a 727) that did a complete 360 degree barrel roll without coming apart. Something they're not designed to do. I'd be curious to know if that was a true story. Must say, I've been on a few bumpy trips, but never one approaching the kind of turbulence that you encountered. We're lucky that planes seem to hold together better than our human bodies.. :-) RE: weather.. It's been a cold and wet Spring here in western WA, with temps running 5 to 15 degrees F below average for the most part, with more of the same in the forecast for the next 10 days. Can't complain too much when seeing the tornado damage in the Mid West..
