I am stuck in the winter flying these little
prop planes if I have go north to places like Albany, NY or Providence, R.I. (where a friend has invited me to spend Christmas with
her and her family.) or south to D-C,
Baltimore, etc.

After conquoring my fear of flying years ago
I have flown in everything from the Concorde
to the new 777 to helicopters and two seaters
over Ayes (SP) ROck, near Alice Springs
Australia.

As Blonde Bomber said, these planes are safe,
though I can understand your wife's concern
Mileage Addict. In a good storm, these planes can rock and roll like a frightening
amusement ride. But if you are buckled in
(always buckle in!) then you should be fine.

Remember the odds of the worse case situation
in flying (the word I will NOT say here) are
very very small. SO my philosophy is that
I go up and I know I will come down. And
find somethign good in everyday (Like PremEx's postings lately!) CATMAN
