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. quote: ----------------------------------------- When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. — Leonardo da Vinci ----------------------------------------- Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519). He is talking as if he built some plane in 14th century and tasted flight in sky! I think, it were Wright brothers first in 1903 to fly first. But who knows, he might have built some crazy things to fly... -Abhi. |

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. I was older than that when I got my license, so it is possible. 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. It will be a very exciting experience! |

How do you feel when you fly the plane? BORED. Most of my flying is long cross countrys. SAFE. As I see the ants below scrambling around on the interstate. Although I may psyche myself out in the preplanning and visualization ahead of time, the experience itself is usually a non-event and rarely feels out of my control. FORTUNATE. Although there's alot of pilots in these groups, the majority of people in the world just don't get to do or see what we are lucky enough to enjoy. FULFILLED. Reaching goals: licenses and finally owning my own airplane. Shopping well and reaping the benefits of it. COLD/HOT. Them old airplanes have that all or nothing heat. HAPPY. For most of the reasons above, but also to see the look on my kids faces as we try to expose them to as much of the world as possible, mostly by air. ....and it's never too late to start flying.

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. :-) |

Don't you feel things with your hands? Now if you're flying open cockpit, I guess you feel things with a lot of other parts of your body too, especially your face... Paul |

om... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Abhi" wrote in message om... How do you feel when you fly the plane? Good. Just Good? That is what I feel when I drive my blue coloured bicycle! I felt good when riding my bicycle. Then I turned 17 and learned to drive. I felt good when driving my car. Then I learned to fly. Now I feel good flying my plane. Paul |
