Learning to fly sounds cool
and then I remember my crippling fear of heights. I can't help feeling this would be a disadvantage.

It's odd.
I am generally crap with heights. I stood on the garage roof the other day to fix something. It wasn't dangerous at all, and I was at most 7' from the ground. But I was shaking like a shitting dog.

Conversely, being in an aeroplane doesn't bother me at all. I've had a go at flying a light aircraft and the height thing wasn't an issue.

I find that about the fear of heights.
I have to survey work on customers' roofs, and it takes all my bottle to do the work.

Planes though, no problem.

You know, I think you're right
I don't get terribly nervous as a passenger. As long as it wasn't an open cockpit I suspect I'd be ok.
