Heres what he found. Off he went, into the wild, blue yonder!! Jackson goes 'a flying' Editor's note: Ever wonder what it would be like to fly a plane? Our reporter found out this past week, although he had just planned on going for a ride! by Russell K. Jackson If it werent for the wings and the view of a propeller through the front window, the cockpit could have been that of a subcompact car with two steering wheels and 20 gauges on the dashboard. But as soon as the pilot got out his preflight checklist and gave his preliminary instructions, all similarity to any vehicle of the road vanished. For me, a fairly seasoned air traveler, this was something new. Never before had the runway stretched out ahead. Never before had I even thought of touching the controls of an airplane. When I had arranged to go up for a ride in the plane, I had assumed it a would be just that I once into but vride, got the craft, it was clear that I was expected to pilot the plane. After going through the checklist, the pilot told me to keep one hand on the t the wheel. My plans to take pictures of the valley had to be abandoned And the pilot was really serious. Every time If dropped a hand from the controls, he grabbed it by the wrist and put it low. The plane was airborne.

Many systems have a backup. If one fails, the other likely will remain in operation. Of course it takes a good pilot to take a plane through its pates.
