It's because it's so utterly unnatural. It's one think for people to go "shit, there's water in the way, okay, let's float on some well crafted wood" but flight? It is sensational. Maybe I'm easily enthralled, but whenever you're up there and reflect on it, it just seems so surreal look out to see clouds below you. I'm always terrified taking off, but once you're up it looks so majestic yet, I feel like I'm cheating ( I don't want to say defying gravity because that **** song will go off in my head ) in a weird way and I suspect I'll always feel that way. And I know the physics / engineering behind all makes rational sense etc, but on that purely intuitive level I'm always fascinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem - don't look for sympathy when you are off to Thailand! I've done this bad boy but tbf it's only small planes so not that hairy but get it wrong and you basically fall off a mountain Google Paro airport in Bhutan ... the pilot actually told us as we land we will bank sharp left and then bank sharp right and it may feel a bit scary but don't worry I've done it before ... take off was actually much worse , as you have to kinda weave in and out of mountains ... but on the plus side you get to see Mt Everest in all tis glory once you reach cruising height it cures you of any fears you may have though , my mate used to be petrified of flying and he's immune to it now .. mind you our aborted landing at Quito with passengers screaming did cause him to have a slight accident in his pants Edited March 2, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pilot couldn't see the runway or something so just went around again .. they've built a new airport now as I think it was quite a common problem ... but I think if you're as nervous a flyer as he was , every bump can be a bad one Edited March 2, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
