1) Crazy Devil Horse
Denver International's Crazy Devil Horse
Some people refer to it as “The Apocalyptic Hell Beast.”
On the way into the airport that isn’t exactly the last image I want to have before getting on a plane.
2) Weird Indian Singing
After passing through security in the Frontier gate area someone had the crazy idea of playing weird Indian chanting over the loudspeaker. Everytime I go through I feel like I am part of a burial ritual. I am all for cultural sensitivity, but let’s not scare the shit out of the other 99.9% of people who are not Indians.
3) Horrible Turbulence
This is actually what provoked this writing. In the afternoon during the summer time you can count on thunderstorms in the Denver area. Bad ones.
Pilots either fly around them or through them and in either case it feels like a roller coaster ride. In the Marine Corps we called it the pucker factor and most of my flight into and out of Denver are definitely off the charts in the overall rankings.
