Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up (9) experiments in which they can control all of the factors.

So once for Fathers Day my two daughters and I . made an arrangement for lessons with a local teacher . flying teacher. And I told them, “Now I can always get a new husband, but you cant get a new father.” And so they said, “Well, maybe wed better not give him those lessons,” but we did and he learned to fly and he bought his own plane. Well it was a twin-engine plane. And it would go . it could go as say three thousand miles at a shot, and without having to stop for gas. But then people cant go that long, so we would fly just so far, like from California to Phoenix for instance and have lunch and get oxygen in the plane and then fly on to maybe St. Louis and spend the night. And the next day, stop at Lexington maybe for lunch. And then that night we would be in Princeton to visit our daughter. So it was always great travelling across country in that plane.We had a house in Arkansas and we would fly there occasionally to check on it. And that was always very interesting landing there. The first time we tried it, the landing strip was between a lake and a mountain and the windsock was all worn out so we couldnt see what way the wind was blowing except by looking at the waves on the lake. So that was entertaining trying to land in that little dangerous spot. But Arkansas is interesting that way.And of course sometimes it could be quite worrying. I know on one trip back home we came into a storm. That was at San Bernardino and somehow we got caught up in snow. We were trapped and we didnt know how to get out of there because we had the mountains between us and home. And we had to call on Edwards Airforce Base to get us over the mountains.Little things like that made it entertaining. And then once on a trip to Seattle, the landing gear light came on saying that it wasnt working. And that way you dont know if the wheels are down really because you cant see under there. And we were coming home and it was a Sunday night and no one was at the airport so we couldnt fly by the tower to let someone see if the wheels were down. So we really had a kind of chance to land it. So we didnt know if we were going to land on wheels or on the bottom of the airplane.So there were interesting moments like that. How did my husband put it? “You spend thousands and thousands of hours with just boring ordinary flying, punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” But we always made it. Sometimes I thought we werent going to, but it was fun.
