Lut! Yes, It is strange. John doesn't like heights either, but he doesn't mind flying. Once we we went up to the top of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona in a lift, he wanted to go down again immediately! I walked outside on the little "bridge" between the towers. Never the less, he would love to go on a hot air balloon! It must be a mindblowing experience!

The most exiting experience I've had in that department was when I was allowed to sit on the flight deck during landing - this was only 2 years ago on a SAS flight from London. I loved it - even though I had 5 straps around me - and forgot the video!
