Fly the Friendly Skies. Just Don't Try to Land.

Matterdays isn't big on flying. I used to love it, when I was younger. And I'm okay if I'm flying with someone, especially my Scott. But get me alone on a plane, and all I can think of is the fact that I'm strapped in a pressurized aluminum tube, being shot through the air six miles above the earth with no viable exit - and having to pay for the experience. I'm usually okay with takeoffs, but landings can be a little nervous.

THIS did not make me feel any better:

Did you think about me when you saw this? I just hope that the air hostesses had the coffee cups put away!

Oh, no, no, no... I did not need to see that. I've had a serious fear of flying ever since I took a small-plane shuttle from Washington to NY and the pilot had to circle Laguardia for an hour in the worst snow storm in 20 years.

Me too. Hovering above Boston in a 6-seater, unable to land on account of weather, has put me off air travel. 9/11 didn't help either. Call me a wimp, but it seems I'm in good company.

Give that pilot a massive raise. Who knew such a maneuver was even possible?
