"Flying may kill me, but not flying would kill me worse."

Fred North

This, this is absolutely the best book I have ever read and, sentence after sentence, I am more and more honored to be here reading it

Above all it's the first time ever I feel so deeply in touch with the words of someone I never met, cause page after page, same situations and same obstacles, I can't help but think how much this whole situation represents exactly what happened to me

I read a thing the other day about the fundamental difference between flying a plane and flying a helicopter is that airplanes are dynamically stable but helicopters are dynamically unstable.

If you are flying a plane you can let go of the controls for a long time and it'll just fly along on its own. You can lose all your engine power and just glide for like 100 miles until you can find a place to land.

A helicopter, on the other hand, is like balancing on top of a column of air. You cannot let go of control at all. If you need to reach something in the cockpit, you have to shift hands and keep grip on the controls. You are constantly making minute adjustments with your hands to keep the blades balanced and your air column directly underneath you. A few seconds' loss of control and you will tip to the point that it's unrecoverable.

Something something maintaining constant, tight control Tommy Kinard's personality something something.

I am officially proposing a BuckTommy hot air balloon disaster date. Buck has a history with hot air balloons and it would be really funny if he’s like “well no it’ll be fine because Tommy’s a Pilot and then naturally something goes wrong and everyone looks to Tommy and he’s like “do you see a joystick anywhere?” And Buck goes 😏 and Tommy is like “not now Evan!!!!”

I was in my house with my mom, when we saw a helicopter fly up just like a meter from the ceiling window (which was strangely huge btw). I tried to take a closer look to find out what’s going on and I realised that the pilot was Elon Musk. He was stalking me.

*We gave our proper farewell on cohost, but to repeat some of it: it was a good place, and we hope we can do something like that again one day. Maybe even something better.
