I feel about the same as the guys quoted he http://www.skygod.com/quotes/quotes.html 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. -- David Brooks And are you sure Leonardo never did? I wouldn't put it past him. Flying is life-and-death control of your own fate every second with no help possible from outside. That experience is what separates all of us, from Orville and Wilbur to the kid who soloed last week, from the rest of you. H. Stevens solo 1967 |

![]() "Abhi" wrote in message om... | How do you feel when you fly the plane? I love watching my students as they progress. I love their accomplishments. I also like being able to go visit my grandchildren in another state on a moment's notice if I wish. But when I look down on the 'free'way and see a line of cars backed up for twenty miles and realize that those poor devils have to get in that line every single day, then I think of what I like most about flying: the freedom. |

Abhi wrote: How do you feel when you fly the plane? I have feelings good. Since came up from baby always I fly wanted. Thanks! It is nice to know that I am in (news)group of Pilots. I am NOT Pilot... Try sometime flying to make your happiness. Matter of fact- I have seen planes only in sky. Till this date, I have not touched any plane or even saw it closely. No chance to become Pilot at the age of 34. But I can afford the fare of plane for some distance like Bombay-Delhi. And sometime in future I am planning to experience how you people feel in blue sky up there. -Abhi. |

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