Bursting with joy

That was exactly how my instrument DE had me get into an unusual
attitude. He said "close your eyes, now turn to the right, level it out,
turn to the left, level it out, turn to the right, level it out, now
open your eyes and recover." Pretty amazing how quickly things can go
south and all the while I'm blissfully unaware. :-) Nice story

Soon, I found myself closing *my* eyes, and feeling the
weightlessness at the top of the arc, and the one-G steep turns, back
and forth, all to the beat of the music. It was magical.

Heh heh. I *knew* I could count on someone bringing that up!

Okay, so my eyes were only closed for a few seconds. And Mary was in
the right seat, making sure I didn't go inverted. Or maybe it was
just tears in my eyes, making it hard to see.

Whatever, it was -- and always will be -- my version of heaven. Those
who have never experienced the joy of flying like this have my deepest
sympathy, as it is truly one of the greatest experiences a human can
have.
