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.

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

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.

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.

Well you obviously have never driven your car down the Pacific Coast along
the famed patch of road/cliff called Devil's Slide here in my 'backyard' :-)
....... Life and death is less than a second's steering wheel movement
away,,,,, YIKERS!!!!

with no help possible from outside.


Life and death???? Get some recurrency training, ya shouldn't be flying
like that!!!! ;0)

My goodness, man,,,,, how the heck are ya flying that plane????
GRIN

Seriously though,,,,, I hope you aren't of the same ilk that will take eager
aviation newbies up for their first flight and then demonstrate a spin..

Sure, there is risk in anything you do, but for goodness sake, flying isn't
like balancing on the head of a pin above a volcano for goodness sake. If
anything, I find it relaxing/soothing to my mind and spirit. Yes there are
risks but they are all most manageable, for the most part.

your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will
always long to return.

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...

I feel free.

You probably don't want to hear this Ms. Green, but your comment was
rude enough to earn you a seat in my killfile.
