Need to add...

I showed this pic to Hubby tonight as I knew he would enjoy looking at it. When we were married, we flew to SoCal for our Honeymoon.
When we left John Wayne Int'l Airport to come back home, the plane went straight up with full thrust and when it reached the altitude it wanted, it cut the engines back to nearly nothing (compared with take off and the climb) and the plane dropped a good bit.

Hubby was wide eyed, gripping the arms of his seat and staring around to see what the other passengers were doing. I was calmly flipping through a magazine and he jerkily twisted towards me and stage whispered "Is this normal? Are we okay?" I gave him a puzzled look until I understood what was bothering him...

He hadn't flown much and had NEVER taken off somewhere where the planes had to get out of residential noise areas... He thought the plane had cut out and was gonna go down!
Poor guy. He's much better about flying, now.
