No, you would not feel an earthquake in the air for a few reasons. The only physical connection between the airplane and the ground while flying is air. Air is a gas. A gas can be compressed so it will act like a buffer and absorb the shock waves. Also being high in the atmosphere, you are far away from the earth, which is quaking so there is a lot of air between you to absorb the quake. Plus as you go up in the atmosphere, the air gets thinner so there's less air to vibrate. Just to give you an example, even if you held a seismograph a few inches off the ground, it wouldn't detect anything. Now if a highly sensitive piece of equipment couldn't feel it, you're safe in the air.

I'm pretty sure they don't, but I think lightning and thunder does.
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
Does everyone feel an earthquake?
Not everyone, no. Earthquakes happen in certain areas and only those areas will feel it. Of course it depends on how strong the earthquake is.
Would it be a relief if you were in an airplane and found out there was an earthquake on the ground?
If you are flying in an airplane when an earthquake occurs, you will not feel it. It would be a relief to take off right before an earthquake struck the place you departed from, assuming you don't have any relatives or friends to worry about. Once airborne, your plane will still need a safe place to land, however.

What is the reaction of disaster earthquake?
you will feel wierd you will feel wierd
Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
