I struggle to look up at them let alone go that high. Planes though are apparently fun. Very strange.
I am scared of heights as well. I still get a feeling of panic when I think back to this ladders I had to climb to accept the restoration of the inner steel construction that stiffen the fingers. When I came back for a second view, there have been new steel stairs. The master constructer said, he built them because he has seen me climbing down the ladders.
Big Airplanes are no problem for me. But I refused an invitation to a sightseeing flight in a small one.

It isn't safe. Actually noone should have climbed up. It's only fixed with two M10(10mm) screws and we had no fall protection or any rope that would have saved us.

The climb down would require some serious overcoming of my phobia. In fact I would probably need a rope and a parachute
Anyways a friend of mine took me up on his little plane and once again I enjoyed it. A picture for those who care to see Mackinac Island in the summer -
