If You're A Good Journalist, What You

This Is Why Being A Helicopter Pilot Is So Different From Being An Airplane Pilot, And Why In Generality, Airplane Pilots Are Open, Clear-eyed, Buoyant Extroverts, And Helicopter Pilots Are Brooding Introspective Anticipators Of Trouble. They Know If Something Bad Has Not Happened It Is About To.

The Thing Is, Helicopters Are Different From Planes. An Airplane By It's Nature Wants To Fly, And If Not Interfered With Too Strongly By Unusual Events Or By A Deliberately Incompetent Pilot, It Will Fly. A Helicopter Does Not Want To Fly. It Is Maintained In The Air By A Variety Of Forces And Controls Working In Opposition To Each Other, And If There Is Any Disturbance In This Delicate Balance The Helicopter Stops Flying; Immediately And Disastrously. There Is No Such Thing As A Gliding Helicopter.

Journalism Is A Kind Of Profession, Or Craft, Or Racket, For People Who Never Wanted To Grow Up And Go Out Into The Real World.

If You're A Good Journalist, What You Do Is Live A Lot Of Things Vicariously, And Report Them For Other People Who Want To Live Vicariously.
