What a view!

[Hermit]

I've been up in open cockpit airplanes and gliders, I want to go up in a glass bottomed airplane sometime :cheers:

I guess that'd be a rush, but if you want The Real Thang, try hang gliding. There's nothing like it. Really.

:joker:

Now yer flirtin' with that risk of certain death thingy.
I'll stay behind the glass and just dig the view.

There was a time when American Indians were reknowned for working
as ironworkers on skyscrapers.Seems heights did not bother them.Did
any of you guys ever hear of that?

Winslow :scratch:

Yes I heard the same, when I lived in the US, I asked a few NAI's if this was true, their reply "No, we don't like heights anymore than anyone else, it's just that that was all the work our fathers could get".

Yes. The Native Americans have an extensive and proud history working the high iron. I don't know if they were immune to the fear of heights or just able to overcome. I think they are still prominant in iron work.

Great Photos, and what a view. My experience with height is cleaning out the rain gutters on the house!! LOL
And I could see the smoke coming from Winslow's chimney, so I can see his house from there like he says. :lol!:

I thought about stopping by, but we weren't
there long and didn't have much time.

Looks like a thrill!

Measuring in Baracks? Grrrrrr... why not somebody of real stature, who leaves the pipe and cigar smokers alone? Well, on to a different thought...

I've always wanted to go sky-diving. It seems like it would be awesome.
