If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
I'm not a big fan of flying. I definitely try to take the bus whenever I can. I've gotten a little bit better about it, but it was a pretty crippling thing for many years. I feel safer in a private plane.
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
What I like about land is I can drive out and check on it. It doesn't go anywhere. It's hard to steal land.
I seem to be landing really great locations on a lot of my work. I hope that continues, knock on wood.
Flying is one of the safest jobs in the Army as long as you don't drop out. If you do drop out, you are a dead man, and dropping out means, usually, that you have made a mistake or let go of your grip.
When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end.
If you think, 'I'm jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet!' you're not going to do it. But if you just jump out, then you'll have an interesting ride.
