Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
In life, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
If you don't risk anything you risk everything
I was always afraid of dying. Always. It was my fear that made me learn everything I could about my airplane and my emergency equipment, and kept me flying respectful of my machine and always alert in the cockpit.
I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.
