Fear of Heights...
Did you know that many people we have spoken to, over our 25 years' experience, have a fear of heights? Not everyone, just some. Some of these people with a fear of heights are pilots.
Does that surprise you?
Many pilots have told me that climbing a ladder is the most terrifying thing that they do. So, why doesn't flying at five miles up in the air trigger the same feelings?
Because, you are not really five miles up in the air. You are on a firm surface which is what I would say is as firm as the Earth. Imagine the physics...400 tons of aircraft, flying at 500 miles an hour...The sheer power of lift that is keeping us up there. It is beyond comprehension, almost.
When you walk about an aircraft, you are on a firm surface. It is like walking around the deck of a ship which is five miles above the ocean floor. You are on a firm surface. It is not the same as climbing up a ladder or, looking over a cliff edge. These are examples of how our fearful minds can trick us. Something to think about?
Take care,
Paul and Lovefly Team
