Day 20 - Why I want to be a pilot?

 

WHY I WANT TO BE A PILOT

• When I grow up I want to be a pilot because it's a fun job and easy to do. That's why there are so many pilots flying around these days.
• Pilots don't need much school. They just have to learn to read numbers so they can read their instruments.
• I guess they should be able to read a road map, too.
• Pilots should be brave to they won't get scared it it's foggy and they can't see, or if a wing or motor falls off.
• Pilots have to have good eyes to see through the clouds, and they can't be afraid of thunder or lightning because they are much closer to them than we are.
• The salary pilots make is another thing I like. They make more money than they know what to do with. This is because most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots don't because they know how easy it is.
• I hope I don't get airsick because I get carsick and if I get airsick, I couldn't be a pilot and then I would have to go to work.
