Have any of you ever been slightly spooked while flying alone? (And

Spooked? Yes, but not in the way you mean. When the engine pulls
the usual "You're in the middle of nowhere, so I'm going to burp once
or twice just to get your attention", then yes I've asked ATC for
higher just in case :-)


On long over-water flights we used to say that there was nothing to worry
about unless you could see sharks following the plane.


Lake Michigan? No sharks, but it smells like fish when you get low
