79 By air

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An air hostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an air hostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again

79.I used to travel a lot as my parents lived in South America when I was a boy. I usually was accompanied by a stewardess and only once I felt afraid. Shortly after the plane took off, we were on our way and suddenly the plane turned round and flew back to the airport. The flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everyone on board was worried and wanted to know what was going on. Later we were told that there was a very important person on board and it was said that a bomb had been planted on the plane. But luckily, nothing was found and we were taking off again after 5 hours.
