Even after 10 years, the ride to altitude is the scary part for me -- and others that had the decency to admit it -- as soon as I'm out the door, everything calms down in the body, it's weird.
I'm guessing it's because while in the plane you have very little control over what happens, and the exit is especially dangerous because a lot of weight (skydivers) shift to one part of the plane.
> Snowless-November in the Canadian Prairies? What the heck?!
I feel your pain, we haven't had a decent winter in a few years now.
