Why don't you like flying real aeroplanes?


Not having piloted a real airplane, I cannot say with certainty that I would
not like it. However, I can think of several disadvantages:

- It takes too much time to get a license.
Not

- It costs too much to get a license.
Little by little, Michelangelo carved David.

- It's too hard to get a medical.
Yeah, took me one painful half hour.

- Owning a real aircraft is financially unrealistic.
Don't need to own

- Renting a real aircraft is financially unrealistic.
Nope, it's expensive, but worth it.

- Real airplanes go places, and I don't like to travel.
But you're an American living in France

- Real airplanes can crash, especially small tin cans with their unreliable
components and frequently poor maintenance.
Only if the pilot does something stupid or can't handle exceptions
and doesn't keep the plane up to FAA par.

- You cannot stop a real flight if you get tired of flying.
Just like real life.

- There is no way to control real-world weather.
You can control when you fly, weird, isn't it?

- You can only fly from places you are, so you can't fly out of London for an
hour and then switch to LAX.
Yeah, that totally will keep me from flying.

- The environment inside an aircraft isn't always comfortable.
You should have seen my CFI. Big as a cow with me and he
in a 150. It was STILL a good time.

- You have to worry about hypoxia at altitude.
No, you don't.

- If the aircraft moves a lot you may become airsick.
If I breathe the air in a public place, I might get a cold.

- Real flying is limited to tiny tin cans that you can afford; transport
aircraft are out of reach unless you fly for a living.
I trust those tiny tin cans MUCH more than I trust those
big damn ATP planes.


ItalicsBoldShock THESE /I/B are your reasons for not
flying?

Don't you know that when you step out of your door in the morning,
you can be hit by one of those french drivers? Maybe you can catch
a cold. You might slip on a stone.

You lie. It's not that you don't want to fly, you're down
right frightened of it. It's not that you don't want to get
laid, girls scare you. It's not that you don't want to move
out of your mom's basement, you're afraid of living your own
life.

Wow. That's pathetic. Pathetic but totally fixable.

Get out there, do something real for a change, ****tard.

I believe in you!
