I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...

I'm one of the lucky ones, and I know it. I didn't need a near death experience (although I've had more than my share!) to teach me to rationalize, but it was one of the lessons I took from my fathers death when I was a boy.

I HAVE NO REGRETS!!

I truly hope my kids will be able to say the same.

Great story...

Flying airplanes is easy, you just need to PAY ATTENTION. Finding a good job on the other hand takes experience, practice, and some serious talent.
