Two:

1. Horizon Airlines Dash8 from Yakima to Seattle in the early 80's. I was the only passenger on board. Over the Cascades we hit clear air turbulence, and the airplane was doing huge oscillations up and down. THe orange juice came out of my glass and ended up everywhere, including on the ceiling (but only a little on me ). Luckily the FA was able to get buckled into one of the empty pax seats. Galley cart broike lose and turned over spilling overything. What a mess! We landed safely in Seattle...

2. Frontier Airline Airbus (A320 I think) from Denver to Seattle in 2000. Engine fire on the right side. Captain shut the engine down and we made an emergency landing in Idaho Falls. Man we went down fast! Had to wait until the brought another airplane up to pick us up...
