I'm not afraid of heights, I've worked aerial all my life, but that's a little too much

I am a pilot. Pilots suffer more from acrophobia than the general public.

No way Jose! I can work on my roof or on the scaffolding in my remodel but, that's not even close.:eek:

In the power plant where I spent most of my working years it was always interesting to lead tours up to the 9th floor (tall floors about 200 feet up). Casually walk out of the elevator about 20 feet turn around and watch the tour group back up into the elevator. The floors were all grating and you could see all the way down.

Our missile had work platforms that would lower from the wall in six sections for each level, all with the grating you describe. If they had too many platforms down, it would take the missile off alert (bad thing!). So, MX would come out and put up posts and chain railings to border partial sections lowered... NO FRICKING WAY! The grates would jiggle a little and the chain looked like nothing at all to stop you from falling ten stories.:eek: I never made it all the way out on one of those.

That said, I was always mesmerized by the rear end of a C-130 with the ramp down in flight. I could sit back there holding on to the seat webbing and felt safe as can be, even though I wasn't tied off.:rolleyes:
