Flying - the ultimate rush

One reason I love flying is the absolute feeling power you get.

Takeoff has to be one of the greatest rushes known to man (short of illegal drugs). Roll onto the runway, line up and look down the runway. It's a piece of concrete (or even grass, mud, gravel, or who knows what) and at the end there is a fence. Behind the fence there are trees. You are going to go OVER the trees!!!

Bring the engine up and triple check the instruments that they are all in the normal range. Finally, you let go of the brakes and begin to roll. Airspeed indicator alive! Roll out those ailerons, keep it on centerline, the centerline stripes are now starting to come fast and furious, V1, V2, ROTATE! Goodbye fair world! So long suckas!

And you are now a bird, and your are only limited by your skill and fuel in the tanks :)
