It was cramped and dark, teasing a sense of claustrophobia. I could not stand up in the passenger compartment (I was at the time 193cm/6?4? tall). I remember thinking that I would probably never be in enough of a hurry to get across the ocean that I would want to fly on one of those.

What I've figured out is that when I look at one and then the other, it makes me feel displaced, which at my advanced age is a kind of dizziness. Each has a strong viewpoint, and they are different, and moving from one to the other is jarring to my sense of balance. On 2025-10-24 14:41, Peter Dzwig wrote: > Brian, > > Dizzy? Why?
