I understand that there are places in the world that are below sea level where the local foolishness is to see how far below sea level they can fly. There are also people who make claim to the low level flight speed record. Both these activities strike me as examples of the competitive spirit taken to foolish extremes, we have to ask why.

An airplane will kill you quickly... a woman takes her time.
