I have to agree that once was enough. I don't know if that was where I got my fear of heights or not but I don't have any desire to go near the edge of any thing over 10 feet. They are talking about putting wind generators on the oil platforms in the gulf. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Jim; As a teenager they were building a high voltage line through our farm. A friend and I got the bright idea to climb one of the steel towers before they put the lines on it, think it was a little less than two hundred feet high. The other guy had on a leather jacket and took it off at the top and threw it. It opened up and spiraled down drifting about a quarter of a mile in the process. It was quite windy at that height which is one reason they now want to build wind powered turbines now in N.W. Ohio, has a constant wind of something like 15 mph. average. But I agree, was a lot further down than up, and once was enough!

I went to a very small country school where we ran around and partied with the kids two or three classes in front of and behind our class. After the class in front of our class graduated that morning that afternoon we got together and went romping and stomping across the country side and down the river bottom and swimming in the lake. One of the things we did was climb up an oil derrick. You can not imagine how much farther down it was than it was going up. This may be a little incoherent; I just got in from driving a little over 310 miles to go to the grave side service of one of our teachers Jim Addington N444BD _____ From: owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Victor C.

I nearly tossed it on that one... My heart is still in my mouth! I went up in the 101 and my wife made me go to the outside observation area... Same kind of panic... I'll fly circles around it and over it ALL DAY! but NOT this! Victor :P From: Tom Fisher Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 9:11 PM Subject: Re: Commander-List: You can keep your stinking job, Dude.

As a pilot, I'm not scared of heights. I have no problem flying in a helo with the doors off. But I hate ladders. It was weird; after 45 seconds of watching that guy climb, my hands started to sweat. I couldn't control it! /J From: owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jim Addington Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 9:11 AM Subject: RE: Commander-List: You can keep your stinking job, Dude.
