Heaven

Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. You don’t have to watch every second for cats, dogs, children, lights, road signs, ladies with baby carriages and citizens who drive out in the middle of the block against the lights. . . . Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.

— William T. Piper, president of Piper Aircraft Corporation

    It must be an awesome feeling.

    Yeah but in order to learn I’d have to get over my fear of flying!! It’s hard enough to just get on plane much less fly the thing. :)

    Learning to fly has always been on my “to do” list. In the distant past I jumped out of several “perfectly good” airplanes, an awesome experience. Flying one’s got to be the ultimate feeling of unencumbered freedom.
