Flying is different because airplanes have floors under them, and the windows are too small to get the sensation of falling out of them.

I read an account by a AH-64 pilot who said flying at night with NVGs was less nerve-rattling because the squirrels were asleep by then, so you didn't see them running around in the trees, eye-level with you, like you did during the day.

Yeah, but they'd have to watch out for them owls!! My nephew is an Apache pilot, and my brother is SO jealous!
