I still get excited when flying on an airliner...I really love flying
internationally. I know due to obnoxious bussiness men, screaming children
and *ucking Terrorists that its a bit trying at times, but I love the
feeling when I am on a fully loaded BA 777 at DFW and the pilots push the
Throttles forward ( or let the autothrottle FADEC feature do it) that the
power and sound of that big plane going just makes me smile.
I look at people who just sit there and read during that maginificent moment
and wonder how they are missing out on such a miracle. 2003 will be the
100th aniversary of powered flight and I for one wont miss the significance
of this event!

( I know the rest of you feel the same as I do because we are all addicted
to this stuff anyway)
