"At times it felt like I could fall up into the sky and vanish in that blue void of nothing."
This isn't about airplanes, but it struck a nerve with me. I had constant inner-ear problems as a child, so my brain takes almost entirely visual cues as to which direction is "down". Thus I had to get a doctor's note to let me out of the gymnastics part of PE in school, as I cannot bear to be upside-down, especially in a large room. Upside-down outdoors is right out. Panic attacks galore.
