Yo...Sandra- good for you for conquering your fears. You guys are amazing!! I've flown in helicopters for years as a neonatal transport nurse- the view is amazing- but my time was always spent tending to sick wee ones. I gave that up finally- just getting too old for all that. <br /><br />Mark that off your bucket list!!<br />VickiVicki Bosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130335934867523461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-63791783603635361872011-10-20T16:03:45.738-04:002011-10-20T16:03:45.738-04:00Hello Sandra and Dave:

As for actually entering the cockpit and leaving the ground.....oh dear NO!! We are practically hysterical every time we are on a jet plane but with no real visible sign of support underneath in a helicopter, we should be frantic.<br /><br />Since we met you Sandra, a day we shall cherish for ever, we regard you as a role model when it comes to facing fear. To travel so far and alone we felt to be very brave indeed. You are inspirational, Sandra, truly you are!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kind words on our previous post to which we have made a general reply. They mean a great deal to us.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-23640314916314467782011-10-20T14:12:58.587-04:002011-10-20T14:12:58.587-04:00Wonderful!

I have discovered I am afraid of too many things, spiders rank up there on top, along with twisty, windy, no shoulders or barriers roads with steep drops. <br /><br />The last plane rides I took left me white-knuckled and my thoughts were " the pilots and stewards have flown many times, still fly ( and are alive ) and don't want to die...so I am as safe as God allows". Makes me ashamed to be so fearful, but I cannot help it. Yes, you are a brave woman !KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-44485385914661241552011-10-19T06:41:22.922-04:002011-10-19T06:41:22.922-04:00Great example about trusting God and facing your f...Great example about trusting God and facing your fear. I used to like going on that helicopter ride at the amusement park where you could make the copter go up or down by moving the bar. That's the only helicopter I've been on. <br /><br />Since you were used to flying in planes, I'm surprised you were so afraid of a helicopter.Karen and Gerardhttp://zemeks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-91158145091093473252011-10-18T23:40:18.219-04:002011-10-18T23:40:18.219-04:00This is awesome, S1 :)

Probably comes from the fact that, when I was very young ~ 7 years old, I was held out over a 600 ft. high bridge and was (teasingly) told he would drop me!
