"Isn't it difficult to fly a plane?"

"No, flying a plane is fairly easy. Taking off is more difficult. Landing is very very easy. Surviving the landing, however..."

(Most people don't learn in tail-draggers these days. I did, and it's true what they said, if you can do touch-and-go circuits in a tail-dragger, with a cross-wind, anything else is easy by comparison. When you have a flying speed of 40 knots and a 60 degree crosswind at 25 knots gusting 30, and the tail wants to 'weathercock' as soon as it leaves the ground, I think Theo would call it 'interesting' (my instructor called it other things not suitable for a family post *g*)...)
