My first flying instructor to me the two scariest words in aviation
a " Watch this ".
I'm on my toes when anybody, anywhere says that.

I took the $25 flying lesson (that's what it cost way back then) and was
interested in learning, until a buddy from the Michigan State Democratic
Committee, with whom I worked on a campaign, died when his private plane
crashed. Years later, I guess in the early 1980's, another friend, a
printer who did all the forms printing for several clients, died when
his biplane crashed into a highway bridge.
That sorta did it for me.
I really dislike flying, even commercial. I like the time savings to get
to a distant location, but that's it. Everything about the "flying
experience" these days, from booking a ticket to hoping your luggage
made it, pretty much sucks.

Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws,

*unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If
that is your position in life, then anything goes.
