No matter how hectic things are getting on the ground, when the wheels leave the runway, it's all behind me. All that matters is being in my airplane in the sky, and it's one of those amazing feelings that is impossible to describe, and that this video evokes.

Dear Pilots and aviation community member:
If you have EXTREME statements on your tongue (like: I hate Muslims, I hate that, I hate ...) and you approach aviation with a wanna be request - You'll get the lights turn off! As a pilot you need to have an open mind and a high level of tolerance (which is painful, I know that) otherwise stay in your trailer and shoot some beer cans ...

Really sad. Human race is really a bad thing.

I always wanted to be a pilot, but because of the discrimination against Muslims, I realize how that would not be possible. Now, I am in Medicine School, while I am happy and want to be a doctor, I always feel upset when I see an airplane taking off, hoping one day I can become a pilot as well.

....There's a huge dragon eating chunks of the moon! Back in the 70's and 80's people used to charter fast airplanes like the Convair 880 that could cruse at mach .88 and dash right near .9 to chase the moon's shadow during total solar eclipses. I was down in Mazatlan Mexico for an eclipse in 1991 and watched as the moon's shadows raced across the sides of thunderstorms out at sea. As I watched this, I thought, so that's what Mach 3 looks like.The effect was stunning.

@Quake120 damn right - for me its the only job where if I turn up to work stressed all my worries disappear as soon as we leave the ground...

Flight has never ceased to amaze me, and up until a few weeks ago, I had to imagine what it was really like to pilot a plane...Now I've started flight training, and loving every moment of it. Many people are terrified of airplanes and flight... I find the sky to be a comforting place, a place where nothing on the ground concerns me at all, and where the sights are what some can only imagine...
SkyWayMan90, you said it very well!

@Quake120 Congratulations! You've discovered the real secret of learning to fly. Discovering how 'small' the problems on the ground really are when you're flying at 3,000 feet above it all.

You know, I've had a bunch of comments, but I've never read a more inspiring one than that. Thanks.
After a while, this job can sometimes be considered routine. Once that starts to happen, I just tell myself to SNAP OUT OF IT and enjoy the ride. But your comment is another way for us to snap out of it and enjoy the view.
