Only, Rich, if you hadn't been using part of your brain for those
other functions. As many here have characterized flying, "the most fun
you can have with your clothes on" (I might dispute that, but that's
another matter) so I suspect sex isn't far from real pilot's minds.
EVER! Well, maybe when they break out of a cloud and are see a
mountain coming at them at high speed they are distracted a little.

And Mr Dudley keeps his mind clear of distractions, as he mentioned
somewhere here, too. I think, on that subject, Mr Dudley, sailplane
drivers probably get closest to the emotions expressed in High Flight,
but can't speak from direct knowledge of that. Dudley, the Mr is a
sign of respect, by the way. There are a select few here I'd demand
call me by my first name: "Professor".
