Landing's pretty fun too.

EDIT: But I hate the constant sound of the engines. I like everything to be quiet.

Same, takeoff is the best part of the flight. If you are sitting near the front of the plane during takeoff, look behind you at all the people in the seats further back, then you can see what kind of angle you are really on.

I feel better in the air then I do on the ground...

Same it's a lot safer in a plane then it is in a car.

The only problem I have with planes is that while you are on them, confined to your little tiny ass seat area it makes you feel like you just had surgery. When your flight is 9 hours long it gets to be irritating.

I actually like the smaller planes. I love the Canadair RJs.

[Infernus]

Yeah... coming home from PSUMA we were on a CRJ-50.

I love those little buggers...

On the other hand, For the Hamma take-off thing. 747-400s have balls. They have a squishyabackinyerseat factor of 10.

American Airlines jets are too slow...I want a ride in a Mach-1 breaker.

I hate flying, it scares the shit out of me

CLEARLY I am kidding. I love flying, it makes my heart beat. Taking off is fun, but it's so easy that I don't appreciate it as much as I should. The most exhilirating parts of flying for me are:

- When you finish preflighting your plane, get your clearance, buckle your seatbelt and close the door, prime the engine, and then yell "CLEAR PROP!" - turn the key and the engine starts, you feel the plane vibrating around you, you feel the wind... ahh, it's amazing.

- When you're holding short of a runway and tower says your tail sign, "clear for takeoff", and you flip your switches and enrich your mixture and turn the transponder on and get rolling onto the runway.

- When you're on final approach, about 100 feet off the ground, your flaps are down, your power's out, you can see the runway getting bigger and bigger in front of you, everything is quiet, all you can hear is the sound of your breath, then you're 20 feet off the ground, then 10, then it's time to flare, and ohhh you touched down

I have a little adrenaline rush just thinking about it!

I like flying but I HATE airports.

Like someone else said, I would prefer to go by air then drive. Just that much safer.
