Tony shares his harrowing experience flying back from Orlando with his 11-year-old son who has severe flight anxiety and his fearless 4-year-old who enjoyed tormenting his brother.

• Tony's family vacation to Orlando included theme parks, Legoland, Disney, and daily trips to Universal CityWalk
• The flight to Florida experienced one bad drop that triggered his son Chase's severe flight anxiety
• Chase spent the entire week asking about turbulence and the safety of their return flight
• A major storm delayed their return flight and created scary visuals at the airport with palm trees bending and tornado warnings
• The return flight experienced constant turbulence, causing Chase to have multiple panic attacks
• The situation reached its peak when Chase vomited, and the bag spilled all over Tony, Chase, and the floor
• Flight attendant provided rubber gloves, napkins, and a garbage bag for Tony to clean up the mess himself
• Despite the traumatic flight experience, the family has another flight planned for later in the summer
• Tony contrasts his sons' personalities - his anxious 11-year-old versus his "absolute savage" 4-year-old who enjoys tormenting his brother
