Are you scared of flying?
#4
RE: Are you scared of flying?
I have flown a whole lot in my lifetime (as a passenger). Widebody DC-10's, commuter Dash 7's and Q400's, even private Cessna 172's. I rather enjoy it, though I'll say that there are sometimes nerves. I kind of like that, though.

I am going to Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, and possibly Yukon next year. In Alaska, and maybe Washington (Seattle), I may have the opportunity to fly some. An operator in Juneau has a seaplane operation with mostly Cessna 206's, IIRC. A seaplane (on pontoons) is something I have never done, and the idea intrigues me. Unfortunately, having spina bifida as I do,my mobility is kind of low, and 40 minutes with no restroom nearby is kind of terrifying (which in itself makes me want to pee). Small planes offer a bit of a free bladder massage.

So, I'm not completely sure, but I look forward to the idea.
