When you cannot see the insturment panel because of the bumps....that is turbulance, everything else is a normal day!
Just wait till you get to a heavy, look out the window and the wing is flexing 10 feet or so and each engine looks like it is rotating 20 degrees or so back and forth on the pylons!! A few times over Gander I thought the whale was trying to flap it's wings to make the atlantic crossing! A little disturbing at first, but each airplane has it's own quirks in bumps.
Back in the 135 freight days there were times I wished I had a motorcycle helmet on, probably still have dents in my head from Baron roofs! Might be part of why I am so screwy now!!!:erm:
