    "It usually makes me wish I was on a plane going somewhere"

    I still get a feeling of joy when the plane accelerates down the runway. I like the power, the sound, the vibration. The amazing human accomplishment of this technology. Above all, I like the fact that I am going somewhere, free to travel the globe (and damn carbon footprints) Wherever I am going in the world, the runway roll is when the trip really starts.
