Debt? Freudian slip? Confusing this conversation with a certain debt you owe? :-)

I do remember, but as I have also stated you are comparing race cars to non race flying. My point continues to be that flying can be as intense as racing cars, but admittedly for brief periods. An apple-to-apples race car/aircraft comparison shows that aircraft are likely more intense and dangerous than cars. Consider that racing aircraft can routinely pull 7 g or more. Look at that Reno fatal accident record. High g forces break things.

Of course you also have essentially zero flying experience while I have raced go karts and once drove a Nascar Sportsman car for 30 minutes on a short oval.
