Geeezzzzzz, reflecting on this whole thing the last few weeks has gotten me really gun-shy about flying. I try hard to do it right... never had any "close ones" Am I the only one that's got a nagging freak factor tingling the back of my head now...... you still can pound in! Oh crap..... Do I need to ground myself tell I figure something out, am I just a skilled dodge ball junkie like all everyone else. I'm self grounding for a while, screw it.

I've ALWAYS been gunshy about flying - but it hasn't stopped me.
Flying requires at least as much vigilance as working with a loaded
gun - it's just not something you can get away with doing
carelessly. Once you become accustomed to the vigilance it requires,
flying is a lot of fun.

If you study accident reports, you will find most are really stupid.
The remainder can be managed.

That's about the worst thing you can do. Most sailplane pilots fly
don't fly nearly enough to maintain currency. How many folks out there
don't bother to fly unless the weather is "perfect"??
