Ignoring everything - aviation...

When you throw away all your training, common sense and refuse to fly the bloody aeroplane...a go-around should have been called, trying again or going to alternate. Pushonitis.

Eh. You havent flown till you fly a paraglider in the “grey room”. That is the real “seat of the pants” experience.

Try hedge-hopping trees in sea fog at 20m altitude at Long Reef knowing the launch is somewhere real close by. And by that I mean single digits.
