It's funny about the airplane, heights, flying fear. Both my brothers are commercial pilots. I didn't get that gene either!
Practice on "ascending". Ha! Kinda did that when I was in a car that went over the 250 ft cliff. Not too bad.
I love going fast in a ski boat. I used to have a Sanger jet and a mini-daycruiser with jet motor. LOVED the Sanger. Used to turn on a dime, power, fast, agile. I do much better as the driver than I do as a passenger, however.
Sailing is weird for me... I don't get the tilt thingy.
