A lot has been said about the plane.

It is up to the pilot and not the plane in becoming one.

A favorite trumpet player of mine was asked what kind of horn he used. He was a bit saddened by the question. It implied that the HORN was responsible for the music. But it was the musician. He could have played anything and been at one with the horn.

So too in flying. It doesn't matter which plane or the feedback of controls or anything like it. IT IS THE PILOT and most likely a frame of mind. To fully discuss this would be futile on this forum.

But a friend of mine said it best. A person who is NOT at one with the plane gets into it and flies it. Someone who IS AT ONE straps the plane on.
