There xceuitf to Im? a prevailing Idea
that tin aviator is different from m??y
oiie else. Folks think that e\ery time
we go up wo arc playing with death.
Ifut ho arc not different nor arc we
flirting with death. Anyone having
that Idea can never cxjipet to heroine

We aiv human ami we fear death even

Yes, wo have accidents here and
when they start we usually have sev
