How I Learned to Fly: A Kid’s Point of View

"I want to be a pilot when I grow up, because it is a fun and easyjob to do. That is why there are so many pilots flying today.

"Pilots don't need much school, they just have to learn numbers sothey can read the instruments. I guess they should be able to readroad maps so the won't get lost.

"Pilots should be brave so they won't get scared if it is foggy andthey can't see, or if a wing or motor falls off, they should staycalm so they'll know what to do.

"Pilots have got to have good eyesto see through clouds, and they can't be afraid of thunder andlightning because they are closer to them than we are.

"The salary pilots make is another thing I like. They make moremoney than they can spend. This is because most people think flyingis dangerous, except pilots don't, because they know how it is.

"There isn't much I don't like, except girls.

"Girls like pilots, and all the stewardesses want to marry pilots,so they always have to chase them away so they don't bother them.

"I hope I don't get airsick, because I get carsick, and if I gotairsick I couldn't be a pilot — and then I'd have to go to work."
