  • Why are you/do people clap when plains land.

    The praising God is amusing to as God has not left a Dingle plane in the air.

  • Some people are nervous flyers and are glad it’s over. Others feel excited by flying and clap because the exciting experience/performance is over.

    Had two aborted landings at Gatwick (I think) once. Everyone clapped and no one judged.

  • I’m n a flight there were about 60 really excited French kids all in the front row.
    They were wired and supper chatty.
    Then the plane hit a fair amount of turbulence. The landing was tricky and we hit the runway hard.
    That’s the only time I heard applause on a flight. In the context…it was merited
