5. I took about ten hours before running out of cash.
I couldn't land a plane with two wings in a mild crosswind. I learned just enough to be impressed.

7. Why I always wear a 'chute when I fly.
Stuff happens, and while I don't want to get down to my last option, it's nice to know that the option is there.

8. The last time I wore a chute when I flew, they made me check it as baggage.
