Why your emotions and senses go haywire on a plane

I'm the same way. Excited by the take-off and landing. Enjoy the view. Enjoy the snacks. Then bored. ...But my first flight was around age 6 in a small Cessna and I've had a love for flight ever since. I'd be flying F-18's right now if I didn't have Lyme Arthritis.

It’s interesting to consider how different or not your worldview might have been if you’d successfully become a military aviator. 

Its something I often ponder.

Fate or ?

Yes it is something I've wondered about... I was 18, had just finished my freshman year of college with some training weekends with the Marine recruiter, was scoring a 292 on the PFT (300 is max), and I was about a month out from going to Officer Candidate School when my hips became too swollen and painful to run... I begged and pleaded with God to heal my hips so that I could go to OCS, but to no avail. Engineering was just my backup plan... but I guess it worked out alright.

Seeing how the majority of people posting on pprune.org (my aviation forum,) think, many of whom have a military background ie been indoctrinated imo. I am definitely not a typical member. They are definitely left brained followers of the mainstream opinion in that they are definitely not open to discussing vaccinations or ghosts, the former being a sensitive topic at the best of times. They tend to follow the mainstream view on things like the Salisbury Skripal poisoning, the gas attacks in Syria etc. Anyone who keeps asking questions is sooner or later deemed a troll, pro Russian, anti -west, or worse.

It’s the age of ‘we’re right - shut up!’.
