IN FLIGHT. READ THEORY One of the great thrills in life is still the ability to fly. Even while security has increased and flying has become considerably less comfortable, flying is still incredible. The fact that something so improbable as an airplane can carry us into the air continues to amaze me. Think about it a giant piece of aluminum, too heavy for one man to lift in the air, carries hundreds of us at a time all across the planet. The physics behind such ability is beyond me, I suppose that is why flight continues to dazzle me so. Apparently, most no longer have this reaction. Recently, I was on a flight that left Seattle and traveled all the way to London without stopping. That is practically the other side of the world (assuming the world had sides and was not e sphere) The entire flight, the woman across from me could only complain. She a 50-year-old woman with short, graying hair and a seemingly permanent scow etched on her face, was off to London to visit her daughter. But instead of the excitement of foreign travel by the majestic skies, she took to whinine First she complained about the security lines. Then, she grumbled about how small the seat on the plane was. Next she carped about not getting enough drink servises. Finally, she objected to the flight was so long. You might imagine how offended this made me, as the biggest fan of air travel in the world. Sure, complain about the security, the seats, the service, but not the simple ability to fly! I couldn't bite my tonge anymore. I turned to her and said, " Ma'am," I said in my southem draw (I am not originally from Seattle), "You have no right to complain about the lenght of this trip. A century ago, Seattle to London would've have taken you two weeks, one by rail to get to New York, and at least another on the seas. And you're complaining about soaning over everyone for 14 hours?" She did not, apparently, agree with me. And she told me as much with a few rude phrases I'd rather not repeat. But at least one least one other person seemed to agree with me. Her twelve - year - old son told me so when his mother went to the lavatory!
