No way for me! I've posted this story before but, back in the 70s my neighbor, who was a builder, and I were on shoveling snow off the roof of our New Hampshire homes. We both finished about the same time so I asked if he wanted a beer. During our general conversation I mentioned that I was scared to death up on the roof. He gave me this strange look and said something like aren't you flyer and how could you be scared on a roof. As a builder he just couldn't comprehend a guy who flirs airplanes being scred on a roof.

LTC Stephen C. - I don't mind being up in an aircraft but no way will I ever jumps from one if I can help it, on a ladder or roof I'm always nervous.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter I've found that as I've aged my balance on a ladder isn't that great so I hardly ever use one anymore. Something to look forward to I suppose.
