If your butt isn't in the airplane, you aren't flying.

Operating a sim isn't flying

Operating an RC plane isn't flying (the RC is flying but you aren't)

Interesting article in this week Av Week about the operator of an UAV
not having his/her butt in the tin.

Didn't we really learn the reasonable fear of flying during our presolo
training and especially on our first solo flight?

(something MXmaniac wouldn't have a clue about)

So when I sat in the cockpit of a 747, I was flying?

Flying is in the mind and heart, not in the air.

Your retorts are hostile and absurd on their face.

I guess sex is in the mind and the hear, and not with the woman (or man,
as the case may be.)
