Brian, Please takes this in the light that I am writing it. Turbine powered airplanes might not be right for you at this time.

Not sure what "light" was intended but the good news is that a fellow had the courage to admit he was a little apprehensive flying his jets. More of the good news was that this same fellow had the skills/reflex to get himself out of a pretty nasty box!! To suggest "turbine powered airplanes might not be right for you" is a bit of a stretch.
In a previous life I have all but had the sh*t scared out of me in certain situations and I was ALWAYS apprehensive going in - but it didn't faze me, rather it tempered my own resolve and further underscored the value of good training/reflexive response to fall back on when the turds hit the fan. The rush afterwards was awesome
So, in response to the first post: saddle up, keep FLYING those jets!
Mike
