Post #90,985 by mmoffitt 3/24/03 8:10:16 AM Reply	Hmmmm. I'm not insensitive to your feelings, more interested in them. And one thing I've found interesting among some of the GA pilots I've met is a "fear" akin to yours. You write [emphasis mine]: But the coalesence of all the things - fire, shredding, falling, being utterly out of control,* extreme dismemberment...* More than one GA pilot has told me that they don't like flying commercial for that very reason. One summed it up, "The only place I like to sit in an airplane is in one of the two front seats, where I can reach the controls." bcnu, Mikem Osama bin Laden's brother could fly in US airspace 9/15/01, but I had to wait for FBI and CIA background checks, 'nuff said?

One step at a time, my desire to move around is being removed. Even more than flying, I just liked being on high places. I always wanted to live in a highrise - no more. -drl
