Reason 72 why I’ve not flown since 1996. I want to control my own destiny. Might fly again if I decide to leave the US permanently.

I'm 53 years old. I've never flown. Stories like this only steel my resolve to remain on the ground.

LOL I’m 52 and the only planes I’ve been in were a 1950 Cessna 140 and a 1946 Piper Cub J3 that I accidently put my foot through the side of. (Tough for a 6’ 4” passenger in the front seat.) I was chief navigator in charge of watching the fuel level rod through the windscreen. (grin)

With all the BS you’ve got to go though today, you’ve not missed anything.

Take a hot air balloon ride instead. Much more stimulating.
