I soak in a 50 gallon drum filled with brackish water and 37 gold fish. When the gold fish begin circling my body at high speeds, it feels like someone is blowing air into the drum with a plastic straw. I don't really feel like a hero or a daredevil so to speak. I am very methodical about following standard safety procedures and the risks involved with soaking in a water filled drum with 37 gold fish. I don't just dream of greatness, I meet danger head-on and squeeze the life out of it.

He's a bad-ass like all of them. BTW, Bonhomme is a French last name meaning "good man".

That is okay, flying a plane is completely different. I'm afraid of heights as well but when you get in a plane, the heights thing doesn't even bother you. I cant explain it, its just completely different. I haven't flown much on commercial planes, but do have my private pilots license, and its a blast just to go up every once in a while just because. I would recommend just do something, that is the first place to start.

I would love to do this, only problem, I'm afraid of heights! LOL!

I have taken several people up that have been afraid of heights and they all seem to do okay with the plane. I also Rock climb and that stuff scares the crap out of me. But flying is completely different. I find it relaxing.

The glory of stunt flying is that the planes never actually leave the ground. The planes are surrounded by a vast array of video screens and conveyor belts with painted landscape scenes. The plane is rotated on an axis using hydraulic pumps attached to a steel frame. A high-tech carbon fiber rod connects the plane to the steel rotating frame. Though it is incredibly dangerous, the plane actually never leaves the ground. Bonhomme is an amazing pilot, even if one of the new breed of ground pilots.
