Copp For Hire, A Joe Copp Thriller (Joe Copp Private Eye Series) - Plot & Excerpts
When you think about it, you wonder how the damned thing gets off the ground. Guess I never really understood the principles of flight—and I also guess, when you get right down to it, that I don't want to understand. Some things are better just taken on faith. For me, airplanes and flying fit that category. Probably wouldn't bother me at all if I was sitting up there flying the sucker myself; assuming, of course, that I knew how. I don't like to feel helpless in any situation. Like even in a car. I want to be the guy with the hand on the wheel and the foot on the accelerator. On a packed freeway, of course, hurtling along within a tight clump of speeding vehicles, that in-charge feeling is probably ninety-nine percent sheer illusion. But at least there is comfort in the illusion. All you get on one of these big airplanes is a feeling of total dependency on other people's competence. You can't even see the guy who's flying it; hell, if you're back in the tail, he's a block away. I even have to assume that somebody is flying this sucker.
