I've found that to be true with a lot of people, women in particular. I think it's the unobstructed view that really tweaks them out, and the fact that we generally don't care about high and fast. I did a lot of sightseeing rides in Montana for gals that had husbands/boyfriends that had planes and they hated flying in planes and even got airsick, but thought the helicopter was completely cool. The best was an 80 year old woman, give or take 5 years, who asked me if she could have the controls and fly. Of course I handed them over immediately. She even helped me coax a few antelope off the runway. I think she went through 10 rolls of film when we got back. What a gal!
