Are You Pilot?

How do you feel when you fly the plane?

Dear Abhi,

Soaring aloft over the heads of your two-dimensionalally confined
fellows on a bright winter morning with Earth's geography brilliantly
spread before you in glorious panorama affords an airman one of life's
most enrapturing feelings of exaltation. Expertly piloting a
masterpiece of engineering efficiency with alacritous authority among
invisible airspace boundaries in compliance with voluminous
regulations demands full mental concentration thus refreshingly
emancipating your thoughts from their mundane confinement. Donning
the cloak of intense responsibility to passengers and those earth
bound below, demanded by all who would take to the sky, necessarily
effects a change in demeanor as profound as any epiphany.
Singlehandedly vanquishing the cosmic laws of nature instills an
equanimity born of courage and skill few apprehend. Sojourning in the
third-dimention provides significance in its perfection of human
experience. But my laudatous extolment of the uplifting glorification
effected by the human experience of flight fails to convey the joyous
bliss that is aviation, similar to the difficulty in explaining hue to
the blind; flight must be experienced to be genuinely appreciated.

What was the question again?

Amen!

You get to fly a masterpiece of engineering efficiency? Nice. I wish I
could say the same.

I would characterize today's aircraft, relative to the early aircraft,
as masterpieces of engineering efficiency. Take an introductory
flight in a sailplane to experience even higher efficiency. :-)

Too many relative terms here.

What is meant by "early aircraft", those of the era of the Wright Bros?

What are "today's aircraft"? The ones built forty-some years ago, that
most of us are flying around in today?

Or are we referring to the ones coming out of the factories "today"?

That too.

You have narrated it so beutifully that I feel like joining flight
school! But I just can't..
