I love Gandalf now. And yeah, crappy airport wheelchairs suck. I travel with my own manual chair and gate-check it, but still.
And yeah, take-offs and landings. I'm not a very worried flyer - I've been flying since infancy - but I know which bits are the worst. And my Dad kinda hated flying; he was a paratrooper, with way more takeoffs than landings. (And since they make you stop smoking then, and Dad's only real medication that way was cigarettes, well yeah.) It helps me to remember that going limp is a good survival strategy and therefore I should not tense up physically. But a bird yelling "Chill the fuck out!" would also help!
