Jesus.... balls of steel! :shock:
Having worked on an air base, I've been up close and personal to B-17s. All I can say is its fun and games until you get sucked into a propeller.
Oh, and 2 words: prop wash. :-D

Not really! Look at these guys: [youtube:2y9fxvjp]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_-7Qp7uzbQ[/youtube:2y9fxvjp] I never worked this high, but I did work at 300 feet like this. If you have a good grip and balance it's not so bad after three days. But when I think about what I've done it creeps me out because I know I was just lucky. If you're thinking of going sky diving this is how it looks at the same altitude on your first skydive. Solitary

I worked on radio towers for years. Never got over the fear of height. Now I limit myself to my roof - about 15 feet, and not too sharply sloped.
I have that, fear of heights. What is this known as? Experienced this a few times during my treks in himalayas.
I don't fear heights. I fear the falling and dying part.

Acrophobia. All hominids experience it.
