flying is fine, but it would be much cooler if it was in an air-car or somthing, so i coudl take reststops, and didn't have to be all scrunched up in the seats.

I am not so much uneasy with flying as I am with having my fate in the hands of someone else. Admittedly, this is usually the case in life, but I get uneasy when you combine that with something that, despite being very safe, seems so *extreme*.
If I were the pilot, and had some way to eject or something (Air Force Scenario), I'd be fine with it. That, and the little creaks and bumps make me uneasy.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. |

In a 747, I assume you could leave it on autopilot for as long as you'd need to, it isn't safe but I'm sure it could be done. But this is an assumption.
In a smaller plane, like a Cessna 172, you can't go to the toilet because there isn't one, but if you have the power set and your elevator trim tab sorted out, and assuming it's a low or no-wind condition, you could reach back and grab something from the back seat if you had to, but again it isn't safe - another aircraft could come out of nowhere and strike you, or you could fly into a bird or obstacle.

a 747 can fly itself form the airport to the airport, it only needs supervision every once and a while just in case, and someone to taxi it around on the ground
