Hello Friends, recently I had decided that I don’t want to be a Pilot. Do you want to know why? It’s very simple my dear friend, such a big aero plane will not be able to take reverse. So what is the fun in becoming a Pilot tell me?
When we drive a cycle or a car, the fun is not only in zooming forward. I feel that the major fun is in taking the reverse. We need to keep looking backwards, turn, bend and see whether we are going to hit the car/people behind us or not. Switching on the reverse horns with the craziest music. Taking the reverse at a high speed that the passersby would get scared and wait for us to complete our reverse. Also taking reverse on a crowded road is always fun isn’t it?
Now I know, you all would agree to me isn’t it? But where as if we become a pilot, we don’t have various horn sounds to scare the people. We just can’t take reverse. We need to depend on a small tractor to get us back on to the runway from the parking lot. So I feel that there is no fun in starting an aero plane. The only fun I can see that the pilot would be having is during taking off and landing. What a good feeling it must be to zoom to such higher speeds and while taking off, the pilot who gets sit in the front would obviously feel like he is a big eagle, on whose back we are all sitting. Do you guy’s agree with me?

While traveling up in the sky, all he gets to see is only clouds and clouds. So boring isn’t it? He can’t even play any music from different radio stations, like how we do in the cars. Ofcourse, I know he can listen to music from CD’s.
But just for those 2 minutes of takingoff and 2 minutes of landing, I don’t want to become a pilot you see. Also, if I become a pilot, I think, I wouldn’t be able to drive a normal bike or a car, as I would forget how to take a reverse. And everywhere the tractor wouldn’t come my rescue isn’t it.
When I told this my next door uncle, he started laughing at me. I don’t understand why these elders still don’t treat me like an adult. I am a big six year old boy isn’t it? So friends, would you support me?
Good solid reasons for not becoming a pilot. I am not sure, but I think a plane can reverse. Reason it is pulled by a tractor so that it does not stray and hit something else. You can have a big big runway for yourself then you may be able to reverse your plane as much as you can. But you don’t want to be a pilot.
Thank you for reading and your encouragement.
A plane can’t reverse but it can do a flip which is why I wanted to be a pilot.
Thank you for your encouragement. Yup, my kid might like flips and may change his opinion. But for now, he has not seen flips. 🙂
Nice perspective. Aircrafts with tail mounted engines can actually reverse on their own. Aircrafts with wing mounted engines usually use a tow truck, because starting engines in full force near the gate has lots of side effects- watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqjZSHIKWzE&t=779s
Wow, we didn’t know this. Thanks a lot for the information as well as encouraging us.
At least, he is down by one option – that he doesn’t want to be a pilot! Good reasoning skills….Now he can explore rest of the options!
