I normally fly under the radar, and I'm normally not the best in my family, even though I'm sort of second or third best in the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to fly a bit under the radar.
The last few years haven't been as good so I can fly under the radar, come in and do the best I can and I don't have all these high hopes placed on me.
I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.
Every pilot thinks they're the best pilot in the world. I think I'm the best pilot.
I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else.
I fly my own airplane, and I have since 1960. I rarely fly anywhere other than my own airplane.
I think I'm as good if not better than everyone else.
The truth is many of us have been socialized to think that if we are not the very best, if we are not at the top 1 percent of whatever it is we do, then we are not good enough. To reinforce this already pervasive mental model, society has established a competitive hierarchy for just about everything.
I try to stay under the radar.
I can tell you that my family in the absolute worst of times has seen the absolute best in people. And, that has given us more strength than could ever imagine.
