Luckybills, I am sure that your ride was anything but comfortable and I can quite imagine having white knuckles myself from grabbing my seat.

I have to compliment you on your description though. It really had me chuckling. I thought this sentence was particularly good:

I could hear the metal of the wings work in desperation as just enough air would catch under them to keep the plane in the air.

You really should try and get a job with a newspaper. With your thread title and the description it was far more entertaining than anything I have read in a newspaper....
