Bajadj,
I agree it's not in the blood [although I make an exception in the case of C. Yeager].
but flying is a jealous lover--and there about a million ways to die---choose one---
a little slip of the lip from a controller
a little in attention on an instrument approach
a hasty grab at the prop controls---
In order to fly well you must understand your ship -- quiet unlike a stupid slow limited car---and doing so because of the vast number of operational pitfalls ----obsession is the only way to be on guard against them--
yes, I'm very sterotypical but people in my life have learned to accept my obsession with planes[and take advantage of it ]--and although overwhelming at times for some I do have many other interests--
For Aviation has no love for you--- it has no care--- no forgiveness in its heart ---and for the unfaithful it will eventually kill you---I've seen it---I'm not lying
You don't fly with one hand on your
Pr**K and the other on the master switch
It loves no-one---in fact it's probably the MOST limiting thing in my life---
