Agreed, rockchick. I cured my sudden onset of "fear of flying" by taking lessons in a single engine Cessna. My one flirtation with sky diving involved going up in a gutted plane wearing a parachute just to see how it was done. It was my job to hang out over eternity and close the door after the rest had jumped. Then an instant drop from 1500 feet to the ground - they save fuel that way. Haven't been up since.
When I am thin enough to admit my weight, I will try bungee jumping. For now it is life threatening to own to 105# when I am not. Go for it! SINS
