Good morning, Shadowbear: Please know that after that first time of taking off, the next time will be easier. Now, when you realize that you can look down on top of new horizons and get a new glimpse of clouds, mountains and rivers such as you cannot imagine then you will say "this is the way to go"!! My first glimpse of the Grand Canyon from above is so different than how you view it from your seeing it standing on the ground. I had never seen Mt. Ranier except in pictures until we flew over it in a MD80 on a full moon night as we approached Seattle/Tacoma airport. That view was worth the ticket price from D/FW! We were low enough on the approach in to get a real good view and high enough that it allowed a good 45 second or more viewing. These have to be the two most memorable looks at the "world from above" that I can remember. Flying is not for the birds!
