Flying is the 2nd most challenging thing a person can do.
Landing is the #1.

Keeping my people employed in a poor economy ranks right up there too. I'd rather be challenged all day flying ... :wink:

I know you wouldn't take the thread title in the literal sense. It was all I could come up with with my usual poor attempt at humor.

A 'real' warbird any way you cut it, this is Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc PZ865 'The Last of the Many'*; I'd guess photographed in the late 1940s, when owned and operated by Hawkers as a heritage aircraft - a warbird of that era - and still flying today with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

*The title 'The Last of the Many', referring to this being the last of the numerous Hurricanes built, and a riff on the phrase associated with another fighter type, can just be made out below the cockpit, if you know it's there.

Love the PBJ-1H breaking away. The modelers must really dig that angle for the paint lines. Love it.
