The bit between take off and landing is generally extremely enjoyable : THAT feeling when you first got airborne on your own , Gazing at the loire castles without queuing for hours , the awe when staring at a developping CB in the southern states , changing world in twenty minutes while hoping between tropical caribbean islands , chasing wilderbeests in the serengeti , dreaming of faraway worlds at night over Europe when everything is quiet , battling gales in the irish sea , getting unstuck from the muddiest excuse for a runway in bahr-el-ghazl with 50ft to spare .........Ah , as I always tell my non-flying friends It's the best Job in the world from lift off to wheels down , the rest of the time , it's just another job (especially today , I guess a C -Class Flying boat captain might have had a different opinion at the time ) . Still worth it though .................................anytime
