Flying is life-and-death control of your own fate every second"

Well you obviously have never driven your car down the Pacific Coast along
the famed patch of road/cliff called Devil's Slide here in my 'backyard' :-)
....... Life and death is less than a second's steering wheel movement
away,,,,, YIKERS!!!!

with no help possible from outside.



Life and death???? Get some recurrency training, ya shouldn't be flying
like that!!!! ;0)

My goodness, man,,,,, how the heck are ya flying that plane????
GRIN

Seriously though,,,,, I hope you aren't of the same ilk that will take eager
aviation newbies up for their first flight and then demonstrate a spin..

Sure, there is risk in anything you do, but for goodness sake, flying isn't
like balancing on the head of a pin above a volcano for goodness sake. If
anything, I find it relaxing/soothing to my mind and spirit. Yes there are
risks but they are all most manageable, for the most part.

How do you feel when you fly the plane?

I am NOT Pilot...

-Abhi.


I feel about the same as the guys quoted he

Well, except for the one that is framed and hanging on my wall, which is

how
I feel when I'm not flying the plane. The one by da Vinci, who never

knew
the experience but seemed to know it so well.

On a more prosaic level, I feel - proud.

And are you sure Leonardo never did?
I wouldn't put it past him.
