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.
Very true. There are so many unions involved it really makes it a pain
in the ass.
That's funny, I just don't have a lot of problems flying commercial.
Maybe it's just Harry's attitude that gets him sent to the back of the
line? That and the fact that the fat ass must walk a little at the airport.
